Compress images in bulk
Doing a folder of photos one at a time is the worst part of this job. Drop the whole set in, get the whole set back, and keep the filenames you started with. A zip of them works too — no need to unpack it first.

Up to twenty images at a time. Select them all in your file manager and drag them over together.
Every image gets the same width and quality, so the set stays consistent. The table fills in as each one finishes.
One download for the lot, or save any single image on its own from its row.
Step by step, with screenshots: How to compress a whole folder of images at once
Twenty is the limit for one run, and a hundred is four runs. Every image is a separate upload and a separate transform, and the page keeps all of them in view while they go through, which is what the number is for. The settings stay put between runs, so the second twenty is treated exactly like the first, and you can unzip the lot into one folder afterwards.
Yes. Each file keeps its original name with the width appended, so holiday.jpg comes back as holiday_1280.jpg. Nothing gets renamed to a random string, which matters when you are matching them back up against something.
Not in one pass, and deliberately so — the point of a batch is that one decision covers all of them. If one photo needs its own treatment, save it from its row and drop it back in on its own.
That row says so and the rest carry on. A batch is not abandoned because one file was a PDF someone had renamed.
Yes. Select your photos in Google Photos, iCloud or your file manager, take the zip it gives you, and drop that straight in — there is no need to unpack it first. The pictures are taken out in your browser, so the archive itself is never uploaded. Up to twenty come through; if the zip holds more, the page says how many it found and takes the first twenty. Anything that is not a picture — the JSON files a Google Photos export puts beside each photo, a Mac's hidden __MACOSX entries — is left behind.
