How to Compress and Resize Multiple Images at Once With WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’re planning to upload the images to a WordPress website, the easiest way to bulk compress and resize multiple images is with an image optimization plugin like Imagify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Imagify, all you need to do is install the plugin and make some choices such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, Imagify will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s how to use it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get started, go to your WordPress site and install and activate the free Imagify plugin from WordPress.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you activate it, you’ll be prompted to create an account and enter an Imagify API key. Getting an Imagify API key is free – you just need to register for an account here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your free API key will let you resize and compress 20 MB worth of images per month. After that, you can pay $5.99 per month for 500 GB or $9.99 per month for unlimited usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have your API key, you just need to enter it into the Imagify plugin settings:<\/p>\n\n\n Next, you can go to Settings \u2192 Imagify<\/strong> to choose how you want to resize and compress multiple images. Imagify offers three different levels of compression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For most people, Aggressive <\/strong>is the best starting point – you can use the visual comparison tool to see how the different compression levels affect image quality:<\/p>\n\n\n Further down the page, you can use the Resize larger images<\/strong> setting to automatically resize images to a certain max dimension. For example, if you set the max to 1200 px, Imagify will resize all images that are larger than 1200 px to be 1200 px (but it will not enlarge smaller images, as that would degrade quality<\/em>):<\/p>\n\n\n Now, Imagify will automatically optimize any new images that you upload to your WordPress website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to bulk resize and compress your site’s existing images, you can go to Media \u2192 Bulk Optimize<\/strong> to optimize some or all of your site’s images with a single click:<\/p>\n\n\n If you’re not using WordPress, you can find free and paid websites that let you bulk resize and bulk compress images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically, if you want to use free tools, you’ll need to use separate websites to resize and compress images. Or, you can also use Imagify’s web app to compress and resize images from a single interface (but you might need to pay depending on your usage<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s cover the free options first and then we’ll show you how it works with Imagify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you’ll want to resize your multiple images to the proper dimensions. You have a couple of good options here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n With both tools, everything happens in your browser (using JavaScript<\/em>) so there’s no need to actually upload and download the files from a third-party server. This means that even if you’re resizing 50+ images, there’s no wait to upload\/download files because it all happens locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get started, you can add the images that you want to resize by dragging them into the interface. Then, you can use the options on the side to control how to resize images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you just want to set a new max width while preserving the same aspect ratio, you should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use the Image Format & Quality<\/strong> settings to convert to JPEG or WebP images if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’re happy with the settings, click the SAVE AS ZIP <\/strong>button to save a zip file with all your resized images:<\/p>\n\n\n Once you have your resized images, you can use another tool to bulk compress them using lossy or lossless compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find a lot of options that let you bulk upload multiple images and download a Zip of the compressed files. Some good ones are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Kraken, all you need to do is choose your desired compression level. Then, you can upload the images that you resized in the previous step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the compression finishes, you can download a ZIP that contains all of the files:<\/p>\n\n\n The advantage of using separate websites to resize and compress images is that you can stick with free tools for unlimited usage. However, it’s undoubtedly inconvenient because you basically double the work (since you need to use two websites<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to save time, Imagify<\/a> also includes a web interface that lets you both compress and<\/em> resize multiple images from a single interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like with the Imagify WordPress plugin, you can optimize 20 MB of images per month for free. After that, you can pay $4.99 per month for 500 MB or $9.99 for unlimited usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get started, go to Imagify’s web app<\/a>. Then, set your desired compression level and check the Resize images<\/strong> box to automatically resize images to a max dimension or by a certain percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve made those choices, just drag your images into the box to the right to automatically resize and compress them. Once the compression finishes, you can download them as a ZIP file:<\/p>\n\n\n If you’re not using WordPress and you’re dealing with hundreds or thousands of images, using one of the cloud-based tools might not be an option because uploading all the original versions and then downloading the compressed versions can be a pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this case, you might want to turn to desktop software so that you can do everything from your own computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some popular free and paid options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or, you could also use one of the websites that do all of its processing in your browser using JavaScript, as these websites eliminate the need to actually upload images to a third-party server. A good combo here could be using BIRME<\/a> to resize images and then Batch Compress<\/a> to compress them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resizing and compressing your images helps you shrink them so they take up less space. If you’re using them on the web, this also has the added benefit of helping your website load faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you have a lot of images, it can be time-consuming or impossible to manually resize and compress each individual image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this post, we’ve shown you how to resize and compress multiple images online so that you can save time whether you’re working with ten images or hundreds of images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
