Optimize multiple images for the web
Import multiple images, resize them, convert to WebP, strip metadata and download them all.
What does this template do?
Import multiple images, resize them, convert to WebP, strip metadata and download them all.
This template processes a whole batch of images for the web: same width, conversion to WebP, then removal of metadata (camera, date, possible GPS location) before downloading everything. Every image in a gallery comes out consistent and free of hidden personal information.
Pipeline steps
This template automatically chains 5 steps in the Workspace. You can review every setting before running it.
- 1Import several images
- 2Resize the image
- 3Convert and compress
- 4Remove metadata
- 5Download the images
Why the steps come in this order
Resizing comes before conversion so the image is compressed at its final size. Metadata removal follows the conversion, on the file as it will be published, to make sure no data remains in the result.
When should you use this template?
- Prepare the photos of an event or report for an online gallery.
- Publish rental property photos without revealing their GPS location.
- Make catalogue visuals consistent before importing them into a shop.
Local processing in your browser
When the selected modules support local processing, your files stay on your device while the Pipeline runs.
Settings to check
- Common width: 1,600 px by default for every image in the batch.
- Format and quality: WebP at 82 by default, JPEG or PNG as alternatives.
- File names: “image-page” prefix to adapt.
Example
- Before
- 40 smartphone photos in JPEG, 3 to 5 MB each, with GPS coordinates.
- After
- 40 WebP files 1,600 px wide, without metadata, downloaded together.
Limits to know
- The same width applies to the whole batch: smaller images are enlarged.
- JPEG does not support transparency; keep WebP or PNG for cut-out logos.
- Removing metadata also drops useful information such as the original orientation or the colour profile.
