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!
