What free tools does GalleryLink offer photographers?

GalleryLink small tools, free to use for photographers delivering client work: resize listing photos to the sizes MLS boards accept, in your browser. Free, nothing is uploaded so nothing counts against any plan, and you can open the tool without an account.

Small tools, free to use means exactly that: single-purpose utilities for the jobs that come up between the shoot and the delivery, open to anyone, with no account, no card, and no watermark on what comes out. They are built for working photographers who already have a workflow and do not want another platform inside it. A real estate photographer getting a listing set down to a portal's size limit between viewings, a wedding photographer preparing web-sized previews alongside full-resolution files, a studio assistant fixing a batch that a board rejected: those are the jobs these tools are for. Where the work can happen on your own device, it does, which is why they cost nothing to run and why your photos never leave your computer.

How does the MLS photo resizer work?

Drop a folder of listing photos onto the page, or click to choose them, and the tool resizes and re-encodes each one inside the browser tab, then hands back files that are ready to upload. There are three presets. MLS standard outputs 2048 pixels on the long edge, the size most boards recommend. MLS large outputs 3000 pixels on the long edge, for boards that accept more detail. Website and social outputs 1600 pixels on the long edge, light enough to keep a page fast.

Every file comes out as JPEG. Quality starts at 92 percent and steps down only as far as it needs to in order to bring the file under 3 MB, which is the ceiling most boards publish, so a photo that already fits is never degraded to hit a number. You can convert up to 40 photos in one batch. Re-encoding also drops the EXIF metadata, which removes the GPS coordinates of the property, the camera serial number and the editing history from the file you hand over. Rotation is applied before the metadata goes, so photos shot on a phone stay the right way up. If any frame in the batch is portrait, the tool says so, because most boards prefer landscape for listing photos.

When should I use these tools?

The moment after export and before the files go anywhere else. Use the resizer when a portal or a board rejects photos for being too large, when you want a web-sized set for your own site or social alongside the full-resolution delivery, or when a listing photo should not carry the property address in its metadata. It is deliberately not an editor, a culling tool or a delivery platform: it does one mechanical job that would otherwise mean opening Lightroom or Photoshop for a batch export you do not want to think about.

Do I need an account or payment?

No. The tools are free, with no account, no card, no trial timer and no watermark on the output. Because nothing is uploaded, nothing counts against any GalleryLink plan's storage, and the tools work the same whether you have an account or not. You only need an account for the step after this one, turning the finished photos into a client gallery you can send as a link, and the free plan covers one gallery.

FAQ about GalleryLink tools

How many photos can I resize at once?
Up to 40 photos per batch. If you have more, run a second batch: there is no daily limit and no queue, because the work happens on your own machine rather than on a server.
Do the tools work on a phone?
Yes, in a modern mobile browser. One caveat: HEIC files straight from an iPhone may need exporting as JPEG first, because not every browser can decode HEIC.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in the browser tab you already have open. There is no extension, no desktop app and no upload step.
