| 1420285 | 2016-05-09 12:51:00 | Hi all, I'd like to find a program to compress my digital photo library so i can load them all to my tablet. Trouble is all the programs I've looked at can only do one folder at a time, is there a program i can use to compress all my photos in at once? Really want to maintain the folder structure as well.... Thanks for any guidance. Dave |

| 1420287 | 2016-05-10 02:54:00 | I'm thinking you mean to resize the images to make the files smaller as opposed to file compression Like bevy is suggesting. Irfanview has a batch conversion tool that might do it, but I haven't used it in ages and don't recall exactly how it works. It's free anyway and a good image viewer with a few other features. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1420288 | 2016-05-10 04:50:00 | Irfanview does do this easily as a batch file. Easy to work out once you go into the batch editor. | user (1404) | ||

| 1420290 | 2016-05-13 07:29:00 | I also support the Zip file option. Keep in mind, if the images are in jpg format, then they've already had some compression, and you won't achieve much more. |

| 1420291 | 2016-05-13 09:13:00 | Actually if you Zip jpg files they tend to get bigger. The best way to fit them on the tablet is to resize the images, Zipping won't achieve anything. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1420292 | 2016-05-19 05:56:00 | Faststone is also quite easy for batch file resizing ... www.faststone.org | Geek4414 (12000) | ||
