Compress Google Photos Albums Before Upload — Save Storage Space

The End of Unlimited Free Storage

When Google Photos ended its unlimited free storage tier, millions of users suddenly found their 15GB Google Drive quotas maxed out. Now, every high-res photo you take eats directly into your storage, forcing you to pay monthly subscription fees.

The Pre-Upload Strategy

Instead of letting your phone upload 10MB raw JPEGs, you can use ImageTight to compress your albums before they hit the cloud.

• Export your photos from your phone to your computer.
• Drag the entire folder into ImageTight's Bulk Compressor.
• Shrink the images by 80% without losing visual quality.
• Upload the compressed folder to Google Photos.

This simple trick can stretch your free 15GB of storage to hold up to 50,000 photos instead of just 5,000!
