Built because the select box gave up at one screenful.

Google Photos will hold a hundred thousand pictures and give you no way to act on more than a handful at once. This is the missing half of that interface, written by one person, given away.

It started as a deleting problem.

Ten years of screenshots, receipts and duplicate bursts had turned a photo library into a filing cabinet nobody could empty. Google's own answer is to select photos one at a time, or to shift-click a row and repeat until the scrollbar gives out. The extensions that fix this mostly fix only that: they delete, and stop.

But once the hard part is solved, once a tool can hold a selection of forty thousand photos and act on it reliably, deleting is the least interesting thing you can do with it. The same selection can be downloaded at full quality, zipped, cropped, watermarked, described, filed into an album, or handed back to Google untouched. That is why this one does twelve things rather than one.

It is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Google in any way.

Four rules it does not break.

Report what happened, not what was attempted.

The complaint that shows up under every extension in this category is a tool that says it deleted 400 photos when it deleted 30. It counted its own clicks. This one re-reads the library after each action and reconciles the batch at the end, so a number you are shown is a number that happened.

Free means free, not free until it is useful.

Every competitor that started free now stops somewhere: 500 photos a day, 50 files, or a licence for unlimited use. Their store ratings fell as the ceilings came down. There is no ceiling here, no account, and nothing to buy.

Your photos never leave your machine.

Downloads go straight from Google to your disk. Edits and ZIPs are built in the browser. There is no backend to send anything to, which is a design decision rather than a promise you have to take on trust.

Destructive things are reversible things.

Deletes go to Google's trash, where they sit for 60 days. Bulk edits export as new files and never overwrite an original. Nothing the extension does is one-way.
