Batch Compress Images: Processing Multiple Files at Once
Compressing one image is easy; compressing four hundred without losing quality is a workflow problem. Here is how to batch it correctly.
Why this matters more than it looks: Single-file compression hides the trade-offs. At scale you cannot eyeball each result, so the settings have to be chosen once and trusted — which means testing them on a representative sample first.
How to approach it: Pick ten images that cover your heaviest and lightest cases, find settings that work for all ten, then apply them to the whole set. Review a random sample of twenty afterwards, not all four hundred.
The most common mistake here is copying someone else's checklist wholesale. Their constraints are not yours, and the parts that do not apply will quietly push you toward decisions you would not otherwise make. Use any checklist to confirm you have not forgotten something — not to decide what to do.
The full version, with the order of operations and the details that do not fit here, is on the original post: https://image-compressor-saas.shop/en/blog/batch-compress-images-multiple
