01
See the file-size reduction before export
The live preview reports the estimated output size and percentage saved beside the real image, making the quality-versus-weight tradeoff visible before processing.
Optimize ImagesImages
Make image batches lighter and remove hidden metadata in one pass.
Optimize Images shows the expected size reduction beside the real image before the batch runs. Tune quality, choose PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or WebP delivery, and strip camera, location, timestamp, and other embedded metadata while Foldout writes separate optimized copies and leaves every full-quality original intact.

What it does
Reduce image weight, strip metadata, and verify the savings before export.
See the estimated output bytes and percentage saved beside the image.
Tune quality while switching between Before and After.
Choose PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or WebP according to transparency and delivery needs.
Remove embedded metadata as part of the same optimization run.
Apply one optimization policy to a complete landscape, portrait, square, or product-image set.
Write new optimized copies without touching full-quality originals.
Smaller files, visible tradeoffs
See what each quality setting saves before processing the batch.
Use the real encoded preview and size estimate to balance image quality, delivery format, and file weight with confidence.
02
Balance quality, format, and privacy
Tune JPEG quality, switch the delivery format, and remove metadata in the same pass instead of running separate compression and privacy utilities.
03
Optimize the complete set in one run
Apply one quality policy across landscape, portrait, square, and product images, then review every newly written optimized copy while the originals remain untouched.
Why it belongs
Why Optimize Images earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
Savings you can see before the run
The selected image reports original bytes, estimated output bytes, and percentage saved beside the actual optimized preview.
Quality remains under your control
Move the quality slider and compare Before with After instead of guessing how a smaller file will look.
Compression and privacy together
Optimization removes embedded metadata while it creates a lighter delivery file, avoiding a second cleanup step.
Batch results stay reviewable
Every completed output remains listed with its source, and Foldout writes uniquely named copies rather than replacing originals.
How to use it

Questions
Before you try Optimize Images
Can I see the expected savings before running it?
Yes. The preview estimates output bytes and reports the percentage smaller than the source.
Does Optimize Images remove metadata?
Yes. The optimized copy excludes supported embedded metadata such as camera and location information.
Does it overwrite my original images?
No. Foldout writes separate optimized copies with unique names.
Which output formats are available?
PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and WebP are available where supported by macOS.
