The Squoosh Alternative for Bulk Image Compression

Squoosh offers detailed controls for a single image. Its official FAQ says the web app does not process multiple images at once. For a folder of product photos or a gallery, repeating one-file exports takes extra steps.

Optimizing images one by one is tedious when a set needs the same settings. A batch workflow can reduce repeated setup.

Squoosh remains useful for close, single-image tuning. Here is when imgKonvert's ZIP-based batch workflow may fit better.

The Problem: The "One-by-One" Trap

We've all been there. You have 30 images to optimize for a website. You open the first one, tweak the settings, wait, and download. Then you repeat that process 29 more times.

This isn't just boring-it's inefficient.

  • Inconsistent Quality: Did you use 75% quality on the first image and 80% on the tenth? It's hard to keep track.
  • Wasted Time: Every second spent clicking "Open" and "Save" adds up.
  • Mental Fatigue: Repetitive tasks kill your creative flow.

The Solution: Intelligent Bulk Processing

The imgKonvert image compressor accepts several selected images, applies shared settings, and creates a ZIP. Free users can process up to three files per run; Pro removes that batch cap.

What the batch tool provides:

  • Shared settings: Apply one quality and resize selection to the images in a batch.
  • ZIP download: Collect the processed images in one archive.
  • Privacy-friendly processing: Image compression uses the bundled dependency on your device.

Tutorial: How to Compress a Batch

Ready to clear your backlog? Follow this simple workflow:

  1. Navigate to the Tool: Open the Image Compressor.
  2. Select Your Batch: Free users can select up to three images at a time, each up to 5 MB. Pro removes those limits.
  3. Choose Your Settings: Set quality and, if useful, enable resizing. The target-size mode applies a goal to each selected image; it cannot guarantee every file reaches it.
  4. Compress: Start processing and wait for the progress indicator.
  5. Download: The batch is delivered as a ZIP. Open it and inspect important images before publishing.

Pro Tip: If you are preparing images for a specific platform, run them through our Image Resizer first to ensure uniform dimensions, then compress them for the web.

Check the Result

Before publishing the ZIP, open a few files and inspect fine text, edges, and product details. If they look soft, increase the quality and run the batch again. A smaller file is useful only when the image still works for its destination.

For sensitive work, review the destination's privacy requirements before using any image tool. imgKonvert's compression is privacy-focused, and the output is yours to inspect before sharing.
