Reduce photo size / myLot

Hello everybody, I've been making some space on my home computer these days and I've noticed most of the space is occupied by the photos. We stored hundreds of photos but we don't want to give up on them. I thought it would be a good idea to re-size them in order to make the files smaller. But it would take me weeks of work to do this one photo after another. Do you know anything that could help me re-size all the photos at once? I mean, to reduce all the files in a folder from a single move. Can you help me with this, please?

Try using a mass photo resizer, which would do the job nicely to millions of pictures in seconds. I've used http://adf.ly/2FdEO many times, and it turned 2Gb of photos into 200Mb without loosing much quality.

Thank you MisteryGuy! This is what I was searching for! This Fotosizer seems to be a good program. I've just downloaded it and now I am going to try resizing some photos.

Wow! It is wonderful! It does my job in seconds! And it also does something that I wanted to do but I didn't know how: it automatically changes all the file names as well as their size or location. This is a wonderful program for my needs. Thank you again!

I think you can do it with photoshop and you can have very high quality but less space! so that is pretty cool, if you have photoshop try.

I don't have photoshop. Is there a place where I can download it for free or I have to buy it? Maybe I'll buy it if I am sure it let me resize all the photos in one move. Can you try this for me and tell me if this works? Thank you.

I think this is where the benefit of photo websites come in handy. You can store your photos on the website instead of taking up space on your computer. I imagine this costs money, I'm not sure, but if you're computer ever crashes you won't lose your photos. My niece has an account with Kodak and she downloads photos once a month and then everyone who is subscribed to her page receives an email advising of the updates and then they can see the pictures. Also, you can store your photos on a DVD or flash drive and take them off the computer to save space.

I am not sure I'd let my luck into some photo websites hands. Such website can vanish one day and my photos are gone with it. Of course I don't keep my photos only on my computer. I saved them on CDs but I still want them to be available all time. I don't like to search through a dozen of CDs to find the photo that I need.
