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
- Click the HyperPhoto icon and pick a photo folder.
- Cull with clicks, shift-clicks or the spacebar; open borderline frames full screen.
- Batch-rename the selection with a prefix and a starting number.
- 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
Open the extension page
Click “Add to Chrome” — it opens the official Chrome Web Store listing.
Confirm the install
Chrome shows the permissions. Press “Add extension” to confirm.
Pin the icon
Click the puzzle icon next to the address bar and pin the extension so it stays visible.
Open it
Click the icon. No account, no payment, no configuration needed.
Edge, Opera, Brave, Arc and Yandex Browser install it the same way — they are Chromium-based and open the Chrome Web Store directly. If your browser asks for extra confirmation, choose “Install anyway”.
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.
