How to get Microsoft Picture Manager in Office 365?

Hi, I have been using MS Picture Manager until I got Win 8.1 and Office 365. In the The Photo Gallery in Office 365 I couldn't find some of the features of Picture Manager such as Compress and Resize Picture to Document, though Photo Gallery has the option to resize the picture to different dimension but I couldn't find out the file size easily displayed after I do that like in Picture Manager.

Is it possible to get a standalone version of Picture Manger with Office 365 or in Wind 8.1.

I appreciate any help  on this subject.

Thank you very much

George

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    The Office Picture Manager feature has been removed from Office 2013/365 suite. Alternatively you may use MS Paint (comes built-in with Windows) or Photo Gallery from Windows Essentials 2012.

    I see that this is a useful feature for Office 2013/365 applications. Thank you for sharing your issue and requirement with us. We listen to all feedback and consider them for additional feature/future versions of our products. Your feedback helps us know which features are most important to you.

    Sorry this is a useless answer.  Picture Manager was a very good tool.  Please get it back.  Why not ask customers before you remove such a useful tool

    This is ****!!!!!!! The MS Office Picture Manager was always a pain in the butt to install because you had to play find the Easter Egg before you could even use the program, but it was worth it. The MS Office Picture Manager was the BEST Picture Managing tool available, as well as the best program in the entire Office Suite. Now, Microsoft wants us to pay them on an annual basis for software that we've already bought once.

         I believe firmly that Microsoft has begun to deliver less useful software, but now wants more money for this software that's not as good as previous versions.

         In short, GIVE US MICROSOFT OFFICE PICTURE MANAGER BACK IF YOU WANT PAID!!!!!!!

    Microsoft Picture Manager - I am very disappointed that you no longer offer Picture Manager with the easy-t-use vital (to many) options
