Short answer: PixPack can compress large image folders on your Mac to reduce the disk space they occupy. You process a folder in one batch, review the reported savings, and keep the compressed copies wherever you choose.
Who this is for
Mac users whose disk is filling up with photos and screenshots.
The problem
Screenshots, downloads, scanned documents and exported photos accumulate. Individually they are small; collectively they can occupy a significant share of a laptop's internal storage.
How PixPack is used
- Drag the folder you want to reduce into PixPack.
- Review the queue and deselect anything you want to leave untouched.
- Choose an output format — HEIC or WebP for the best savings, JPEG for maximum compatibility.
- Optionally resize images that are far larger than you will ever display them.
- Check the total reported savings before exporting.
- Export the compressed copies to a new folder, then review before removing the originals yourself.
Expected result
A compressed copy of the folder with the savings reported per file. How much space you ultimately reclaim depends on which originals you decide to remove afterwards.
Important
PixPack does not delete your original files, and this website does not recommend bulk-deleting personal files. Export to a separate folder, verify the results, and only then decide what to keep.

Frequently asked questions
Will PixPack delete my original photos?
No. PixPack exports compressed copies to the folder you choose. Your originals are not modified or removed.
Which format saves the most space?
HEIC and WebP generally produce smaller files than JPEG at a comparable visual quality. The exact saving depends on the source images and the quality level you choose.
Is it safe to delete originals after compressing?
Only if you have verified the compressed copies and have a backup. Deleting files is irreversible, so check the results first.
