- This video shows you how to compress photos on a Windows computer with NO special software. It will take you less than three minutes to compress a folder full of photos.
This is so simple, you'll love it.
You don't have to download anything to use this technique.
Dang Mike, I had downloaded, made User, Pass on sites, pressured to buy. Got burned out finding free info to do this. I went with Smaller and thought I would look at it. It was fine. So, you and your video took 147 jpegs, 449MB and reduced to 3.7MB. Yahoo would allow 25MB max. If I went with Medium, I would have to send 2 emails so the Smaller worked fine on what I had to send. The boss and I are grateful for your time and info of how to pull this off. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. So glad it was helpful to you.
Absolutely amazing. THANK YOU! I just wish I would have seen your video before purchasing compression software that ended up being a bit difficult to figure out and in the end didn't compress my 4k images much.
Simple, elegant and very clearly explained. Outstanding!
Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much for this brilliant solution! I'd been searching for a free webtool to do this but they all want you to purchase something after a limited amount of files compressed!
You’re welcome
Excellent sir!!!
Many thanks!
SPOT ON VERY WELL DESCRIBED
you're awesome!
Thanks
Thank you sir
Welcome
somehow my computer has lost the ability to resize photos automatically. For example, I can select some photos, then right click on any one of them, then choose "Send To". As soon as i do this a screen used to open that was titled "Attach Files", then the window allowed me to choose a size ...1024 X 768, 640 X 480 and so on. I have lost that window that allows me to resize the photos. How can i get that back?
perfect hehe thank you sir
You’re welcome
Using Windows 11, I followed your instructions exactly as described. However, after selecting picture size (small) and "attaching" and giving the process sufficient time to create the small compressed photos, my screen drops the entire compression process and reverts back to seeing my desktop without clicking on anything. Thus, I'm unable to see any compressed photos (like you show in the tutorial). There's no down arrow to select adjacent to photos because there are no photos to move to the desired 'empty' folder for emailing. Any suggestions how to resolve this problem? Thanks - I think your tutorial is WELL DONE. -Rob
On my new computer, I learned that I had to have Outlook installed for this process to work. I never use Outlook, but I installed it, set it up, and forgot about it. Once I did that, this process started working for me again. You might want to try that.
I your instructions seemed so simple. I wrote down what you said. It seemed simple enough then Bam!! I got an error message; something about having to make Outlook my default email. Nope, I don’t want to do that. I’m so sad but thanks for explaining such an easy method.
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. I have encountered a few situations where for some reason this doesn’t work. Fortunately, for most people, it has worked well.
On my new laptop, I did have to create an outlook account in order for this to work. It is not my default, and I never use Outlook except when I am compressing photos.
Respect, nothing but absolute respect. Worthy of a thousand a day "subscribe", and ten thousand a day "likes".
Thanks. I think this is the best comment I’ve ever received.
@@morganinspectionservices3840 Well done to you, sir. This technique is a manifestation of true genius. And I'm pointing at you.
BRILLIANT
Thanks
Perfect ❤
👍
Thanks😀
You're welcome 😊
Genius 😎
I’m glad you think so. 😊
Cool 🎉
Glad you liked it.
It says " There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." What should i do now ?
I am sorry for the delayed response, but you may have to have Microsoft outlook installed on your computer. That’s what opens up on my computer when I use this procedure. I do not use Microsoft outlook as my email program, but it came installed on my laptop so that’s what opens up.
Had it going up to step for email application 2:16 so won't work for me as I refuse to use ms edge for email, I use aol and gmail. I will try a zipped folder. Thx
Other people have solved this simply by downloading outlook to their computer. They have not had to actually use outlook for email, but just have to have it on the computer for this procedure to work.
Hello! Is this method works for videos as well? I have some videos that i want to make them smaller
I’m sorry for the delayed response, but this process will not work for videos. I’m sure there is software out there that can compress videos, but I don’t have that information.
Use Handbrake
My computer doesn't pop up the file size option. I was so hopeful! Need this so badly! Sure seems easy!
This is the first time I have heard that. Did you go ahead and go through with it and see if it did any compression?
Will it work of my "folder" holds 4TB 5000 folders and 300,000 photos ?
I don’t know. Why don’t you let me know if you try it. That’s a lot of pictures.
Is there a way to compress to 300x300 or 3mb?
I’m sorry. This is the only method I am aware of, and you, the user, really have little control over the actual compression size other than going with small, medium or large.
HOW SIMPLE IS THAT. CHEERS
Thanks
Can someone help me? The mail recipient dialogue box has not appeared. I've been waiting for minutes now.
Hello. Some people have had to download Outlook onto their PC to get this procedure to work. About 95% of the time, it works without that, but not every time for some reason. If you do have to install Outlook, you do NOT have to set it up as your mail software. My understanding is you just have to have it installed.
Good job
But let me try it out
Why not just using a zip folder (lossless)?
The displayed method sould be a loss compression.
I like this method because you have a little more control over the final file size.
I got just one thing to say...oh hell yes!
I guess it worked!
You betcha! I asked chatGPT how to do it and it said there was no built-in Windows method to do it however you could add some sort of third-party application, so I wasn't going to do that. Your method probably saved me 1 - 2 hours of time and frustration. So thanks for all of us for your tip!
It doesn't work for me for windows, it doesn't see any association, how did you do this? I searched on youtube but nothing works on Windows 10
Download Outlook and see if that fixes it. You should not have to have an Outlook account. You just have to have Outlook on your computer.
@@morganinspectionservices3840thank you! I will try when I get home!
👍🏽👍🏽
And what happens when there is no email program associated to perform that action?
For me, it opens up the Microsoft outlook program. I do not use Outlook, but I guess it comes installed on Windows computers, so it opens that up automatically as part of this process.
@@morganinspectionservices3840 for some odd reason it wont work for me, like at first it gave me an error that I needed to add a default mail app to open the files into, I thought I was able to fix that but it still doesn't work. I do the same steps and it shows a loading for a quick second, I wait to see if the mail app opens to continue with the process and it never opens, it just does nothing and it wont work. If by any chance you think you could help me out with this issue?? Thanks man!
but won`t the quality also reduce?
Sure it will. Anytime you lower the number of pixels in a photo, it lowers the quality, but sometimes you don’t need such high quality. If you need to save the photos or email them or put them onto an SD card then this is the way to compress them and make each photo take up less memory.
I follow the steps pretty easy, but the email application never popup for me?
You might make sure Microsoft Outlook is installed on your computer. You don’t have to set up an account but I think it needs to be installed on your computer for this to work.
What is email app?
it says that there is no email app?!
Some people have had to download outlook to make this process work. You don’t have to setup an account- just download it.
Didn't work at all
Failed, Time Waste
Sorry. It’s worked for most people.
very easy
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks
