After an event you are left with a folder of five hundred frames named IMG_20240517_143022.jpg. Sorting that in a file manager is painful: previews are tiny, renaming is one file at a time, and shrinking the keepers for email needs a separate editor.

HyperPhoto puts all three jobs in one browser window. It opens a folder from your disk, shows large tiles, lets you cull with the keyboard, and renames and compresses the selection in a single action. The files stay on your machine — the extension requests no site access and uploads nothing.

What it does HyperPhoto

Large previews

Roughly 10.8 × 8.6 cm tiles, three per row and resizable — bad frames are obvious without opening each file.

Fast culling

Click, shift-click for a range, and the spacebar from the keyboard: your hands stay where they are.

Full-screen review with EXIF

Zoom to 100% pixels and read the capture data to check sharpness and settings.

Batch renaming

Sequential numbering, an optional prefix and a warning about name collisions. Renamed files stay where they are.

Compression to a target size

Set a maximum weight; quality is chosen automatically and never drops below 72%, with resolution reduced only if the limit demands it.

Tidy folder handling

Compressed copies go to a “Compressed photos” subfolder and rejects to “Trash”. Originals are never deleted.

Windows, macOS and Linux

Identical behaviour on every platform.

No permissions

The extension asks for no site access — you choose the folder it works with.

How to use it

  1. Click the HyperPhoto icon and pick a photo folder.
  2. Cull with clicks, shift-clicks or the spacebar; open borderline frames full screen.
  3. Batch-rename the selection with a prefix and a starting number.
  4. Set a maximum file size if needed and run compression.

Who it is for

  • Cull an event shoot and hand over only the keepers
  • Bring filenames into order before uploading to a catalogue or site
  • Shrink photos to fit an email attachment limit
  • Prepare images for a deck so the file is not hundreds of megabytes
  • Check sharpness and capture settings without launching a heavy editor

How to install

  1. Find the extension you need and press Install

    The right Chrome Web Store page opens in your browser.

  2. Press Install on the Chrome Web Store page

    A blue Install button appears on the right of the listing — click it. If the page opened in a different browser (Safari, say), copy its address into Chrome, Yandex Browser, Edge or Opera and press the button there.

  3. Pin the icon to the toolbar

    Open the extensions list in your browser settings and pin the new extension to the toolbar.

  4. Done — open the extension

    Click its icon in the browser. No account, no payment, no setup needed.

All four browsers (Chrome, Yandex Browser, Microsoft Edge, Opera) are built on the Chromium platform, so extensions for them all come from one place — the Chrome Web Store. Chrome and Yandex Browser open the listing directly. Edge asks once for permission to install from other stores — choose “Allow”. Opera needs the free Install Chrome Extensions add-on, after which the install button appears on the normal listing page.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The extension requests no site access, and the images stay on your computer.

What happens to rejected shots?

They are not erased — they move to a “Trash” subfolder and can be restored at any time.

How do I compress a photo to an exact size?

Set a maximum file weight; quality is chosen automatically and never falls below 72%, and resolution is only reduced if the limit requires it.

Are originals overwritten?

No. Compressed copies go into a separate “Compressed photos” subfolder and the originals stay untouched.

Can I rename a hundred files at once?

Yes, with a shared prefix and sequential numbering; you are warned in advance about name collisions.

Does it work on macOS and Linux?

Yes — behaviour is the same on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Other extensions in the set

HyperVideo

Finds every video on a page, shows its size and duration, and downloads it in the quality you pick. It also records your screen with sound.

HyperScreen

Captures a screenshot of an entire page and helps you crop it. Handy for a long chat with an AI assistant, a big Wikipedia article or a social media page.

HyperCompress

Compresses files without visible quality loss and keeps everything private. It also converts files between formats: audio and video, documents and images.
