## Overview

Batch Image Compress allows you to quickly reduce the file size of up to 100 images simultaneously while maintaining control over quality, output formats, and metadata settings.

## Inputs

- **Image Files (up to 100)** (file): Select up to 100 images to compress
- **Target Quality (1-100)** (number): Enter compression quality (lower = more compression)
- **Target Size per File (MB)** (number): Target file size in MB (optional)
- **Output Format** (select): Select output format
- **Preserve Aspect Ratio** (checkbox): Maintain original aspect ratio when resizing
- **Preserve Metadata** (checkbox): Keep EXIF data and other metadata
- **Progressive Loading** (checkbox): Use progressive loading for supported formats
- **Smart Resizing** (checkbox): Automatically resize images for better compression
- **Keep Original Names** (checkbox): Use original filenames instead of adding prefixes
- **Compression Method** (select): Select compression strategy

## When to use

- Preparing large batches of images for faster website loading speeds.
- Reducing file sizes to meet email attachment or upload limit requirements.
- Standardizing image formats and quality across a large collection of assets.

## How it works

- Upload up to 100 image files in supported formats like JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF.
- Adjust your preferred compression settings, including target quality, output format, and resizing options.
- Process the files in bulk and download the optimized images directly to your device.

## Use cases

- Optimizing high-resolution photography for web galleries to improve page performance.
- Batch converting a folder of PNGs to WebP format for modern browser compatibility.
- Shrinking large image files to fit within specific storage or email size constraints.
