The Google Storage Trap

Google Photos ended its free unlimited storage policy years ago. Now, every single 10MB photo eats directly into your 15GB quota. Once you hit the limit, you are forced into a monthly subscription.

Bulk Compressing Folders

Before you upload your 500-photo vacation album, you can slash its size by 70%. Using ImageTight, I routinely compress 500MB folders down to 130MB. The visual quality remains completely identical to the human eye, but the file size is drastically reduced.

100% Private Offline Processing

The best part about using ImageTight for personal photos is that it is 100% private. Your family photos never touch a remote server; all compression happens directly inside your web browser using WebAssembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will compressing ruin my photos?

No. Our AI utilizes perceptual loss algorithms. It throws away microscopic digital data that the human eye physically cannot perceive, retaining the picture's perfect look.

Are my photos uploaded to your server?

Never. ImageTight processes everything securely in your local browser cache.
