Batch resizing, cropping, and optimising existing images — whether they’re already on your site or newly supplied — reduces file size and standardises dimensions without changing what the images actually show. This is technical image processing, not photo editing or content decisions about what the images should be.
Image resize, crop & optimize batch
Existing images resized, cropped, and optimised in a batch — technical processing, not photo editing.
- Full backup taken before we start
- If we can’t fix it, you get your money back
- We never ask for your own password
What we need from you
- Confirmation of which images need processing (a specific set, a whole gallery, or your full media library)
- Your target dimensions or aspect ratio, if you have a specific standard in mind
- Your priority between file size reduction and visual quality, if there’s a meaningful trade-off to consider
This or something else?
| You want existing or supplied images resized, cropped, and optimised in a batch | This fix covers it |
| You want different images entirely, not the current ones processed | Image replacement – the appropriate tier for your image count |
| You want a broader performance report identifying what’s actually slow, not just image processing | Performance & Core Web Vitals category fixes may be more appropriate as a starting point |
| You need specific images cropped to a particular focal point, requiring judgment calls | Worth flagging specific images needing special attention as part of this fix’s scope |
What we do
- Confirm the scope of images to be processed and your target standards
- Resize images to appropriate, consistent dimensions
- Crop where needed, flagging any requiring a judgment call on focal point
- Optimise file size while balancing visual quality
- Verify processed images display correctly in their existing placements
- Provide a summary of the batch processed and file size improvement achieved
What is included
- Images resized, cropped, and optimised per your specified standard
- Verified correct display in existing placements after processing
- A summary of file size improvement achieved
- Flagging of any image requiring a judgment call before cropping
Not included
- Photo editing beyond resize, crop, and optimisation (retouching, colour correction, compositing)
- Sourcing new images to replace the ones being processed
- Deciding on new placements or a redesigned visual layout
- Writing or updating alt text, a separate, related task if needed
Questions about this fix
Will this reduce the visual quality of my images noticeably?
We balance file size reduction against visual quality, and for most web use the difference is not perceptible — for images where quality is especially critical, flagging that upfront lets us prioritise accordingly.
What happens if a crop needs a judgment call, like which part of a photo to keep?
We flag those specific images for your input rather than making an aesthetic decision on your behalf, since choosing what stays in frame is a content and design decision, not a technical one.
Does this fix slow-loading images sitewide, or just the ones I specify?
Just the ones within the confirmed scope — if you want a broader assessment of what's actually causing slow loading across your whole site, that's a separate, diagnostic-first service.
Will this change the file format of my images?
It can, if converting to a more efficient format (like WebP) is part of achieving better optimisation — we'd confirm this is compatible with your site's setup before applying it broadly.
Can this be done as an ongoing process for new images I add?
Not as a standing service under this fix — this is a batch process for existing images; a workflow for optimising new images going forward would be a separate, related conversation.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
