How to compress a batch of images on Mac

Large screenshots and photos are slow to upload and heavy to email. PicCute shrinks a whole folder at once while keeping visual quality.

  1. Drag images or folders into PicCute.
  2. Set the quality slider (85% is a good start).
  3. Choose an output folder or overwrite the originals, then click Run.
