SharePoint Designer is a great tool for website development. Its a WYSIWYG HTML editor and Website administrator tool from Microsoft. It provides the powerful tools you need to deliver compelling and attractive SharePoint sites and quickly build workflow-enabled applications and reporting tools on the SharePoint platform, all in an IT-managed environment.

According to Microsoft, SharePoint Designer 2007 is not compatible with SharePoint 2010. To connect to SharePoint 2010 sites you must use SharePoint Designer 2010. If using both the 2007 and 2010 versions of SharePoint Designer simultaneously on the same computer you must install 32-bit versions. Also, it is recommended that you install SharePoint Designer 2007 before SharePoint Designer 2010.

  1. I’m with Gaurav above. I downloaded the link you gave, but now I have a Share Point Site home page that doesn’t follow your screenshots. I needed to download the picture manager – I use it ALOT. I work at a University that auto-updates our office versions, but I can’t access their “website” to download or run a web-platform program.

  2. July 2015, the links still work and the installation of Picture Manager was easy, thanks Chris you are a lifesaver!

  3. Hello, Can You tell me, why I cannot try to learn to do a website in Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010 with some of my excel- and word files I have in my FrontPage 2003 and SharePoint Designer 2007. They are both compatible to each other. I will try to do a website in SharePoint Designer 2010 and begin with an empty website. It does not function, I get an answer about Windows server or Microsoft foundation. What do I wrong, what is wrong? Can You tell me? Please !

  4. Hello again, I forgotten that I have both 32-bits program Microsoft SharePoint Designer.

  5. As with others above, I have been so annoyed to have lost Picture Manager. I used it every time I wanted to edit photos. It’s been such a nuisance! It just doesn’t make sense that Microsoft would remove such a useful program.

    Thank you so much for helping out.

  6. Picture Manager.
    What a support and help to get I installed in 2013.
    Thanks a lot VG.
    Best regards

  7. worked like a dream! used the 32 bit even though my computer is 64 bit because there is some compatibility issue but my picture opening now defaults automatically with this great little picture editor.

  8. Thank you SO much for this information! Our university is forcing all of us to upgrade to Office 2013 (boo!) and I suddenly realized my beloved Picture Manager was gone.

    I’m saving this information in case I have to reinstall here at work, or upgrade to Office 2013 at home.

  9. Thanks a million. Worked perfectly first time. Choose 2007 version as download. Really glad I’ve got this program back all thanks to you.

  10. Like others, I was a devotee of MPM, because I could resize pix. The Windows 10 functionality is useless.
    Your Sharepoint Designer 2010 seems like the perfect answer (I was going to download the 64-bit version?–Does that make the most sense?), but every time I try, I receive this message:
    Something went wrong and we can’t sign you in right now. Please try again later.

    I have gone to my Account Settings screen and, as far as I can tell, I AM signed in. Thoughts?

  11. I can’t believe Microsoft got rid of the Picture Manager!!!!!!!! I used it DAILY in my classroom!!!! I am totally devastated!! We just upgraded our computers to Office 2016, and I am praying that I can get this upload to work!!!!! PLEASE BRING IT BACK, Microsoft!!

  12. Thank you! Was very unhappy to see that Picture Manager was gone in Office 2013. This tip did the job. 🙂

  13. Thanks for free download.
    Superb. This was a great help as I was striving for picture manager.
    This is the perfect site where I got right direction without moving to any other ads.
    Keep me update with your mails.
    Thanks again…

  14. EXCELENTE ayuda, desearía que así fueran todas las ayudas de Internet, de verdad que me sirvió para lo que realmente lo necesitaba.

    Muchas gracias

  15. From What I can tell the “SharePoint Designer 2013” doesn’t have the Picture Manager. But the “SharePoint Designer 2007” does. I didn’t try the 2010 version.

  16. I used to love MS Image Composer – the predecessor to Adobe Photoshop but 1000 times easier and quicker. Once that was gone I used Office Picture Manager – not as versatile but does a great job with cropping and adjusting of photos. Thank you for giving us this option back!

  17. Thank you so much. I use Office Picture Manager for a lot of quick simple edits and was sad to see it was not included in Office 2016. I followed your links to download it. Some of Microsoft’s screens have changed, but the logic was still the same. I’m pleased to have this little editor back.
