Which free app can reduce the size of bulk images & videos stored on my PC

R

Hi friends,

I have nearly 50GB of images & videos stored on my PC.

Pls tell an app to reduce its size on PC.

Thanks in advance.

You could try zipping them but I doubt you'll get any better results. You might have to re-encode all of them to reduce their size/quality to reduce file size.

Try 7zip with best compression setting.

For images, heic is smaller & for videos hevc is a codec to reduce size. Not sure of converters though.

Which free encoder will do this work for so many files at one go ?

Handbrake with H265 nvenc, but you need powerful CPU/GPU to encode everything within a reasonable amount of time.
I'm not sure about AV1.

This. But also note that this will only transcode videos. For images you might need to use something like Irfanview for batch operation.

You want to burn your phone down? :rofl:

Even if there were such an app, your phone is not going to be powerful enough to perform video transcoding. Even on PC/laptop without a mid-tier GPU it's likely that the transcoding process might either take a very long time or burn your CPU.

You will also need additional storage (appx equal to the total size of your videos and photos) to store the converted videos and images.

But is there any app just to resize the pics?

For photos in PNG/JPG etc formats on Windows PC, see if ImageResizer for Windows Releases · bricelam/ImageResizer works for you.
The app installs only as a context menu. Select all photo files and right click to opt for Resize.

If you are having issues storing it, I suggest instead buy some Cloudstorage or Buy external HDD and load all your data on it. It will be much less hassle and the photo quality would not be destroyed.

My suggestion is handbrake for vidoes and Irfanview for images. It'll probably take a night or so depending on the size of the files.

Other alternate is dump them all on google photos and it'll automatically make a low res version and allow you to access them from anywhere
