Image compression re-encodes a picture at a lower quality setting, discarding detail the eye is least likely to notice. Dropping a JPEG from quality 95 to 78 typically halves the file with no visible difference. Capping the longest side saves far more again.

How to compress images

1 Drop in as many images as you like — there is no limit, because nothing is uploaded.
2 Set the quality. Around 78 is the sweet spot for photographs.
3 Cap the longest side if the images are larger than they need to be.
4 Download them individually, or all at once as a ZIP.

Resolution usually matters more than quality. A 4000-pixel photograph displayed at 800 pixels wide is carrying twenty-five times more data than it can show, and capping the longest side removes that waste before the quality setting does anything at all. Compress first by dimension, then by quality — doing it the other way round means throwing away detail from pixels you were about to discard anyway. For photographs, WebP typically produces a file about 25–30% smaller than JPEG at matching quality.

Questions

As many as your machine will hold. There is no server, so there is no upload limit and no queue — the only constraint is memory.
