My users have added a lot of photos stored in a Glide Database. How can I reduced the data space used by those photos? They are near 10Mb per photo !

Another question, how can I download a copy of all those photos with original quality ?

Best bet to download them all is copying all the URLs to your clipboard and use an extension like this:

> **[Simple mass downloader](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/simple-mass-downloader/abdkkegmcbiomijcbdaodaflgehfffed)**
>
> A light batch download manager with flexible filtering/mass-renaming options that make downloading files a lot easier & productive.

I’m not super familiar with this, but maybe you can find a service that offers doing this via an API. Every time a user submits a photo, send a webhook payload to [Make.com](http://Make.com), process the image in there, upload the resulting image to something like Google Drive, and get the Drive link back to Glide using Glide’s API (Pro+ required).
