Your team’s photo library, half the weight, nothing deleted
Events, programs, residencies, press kits, grant reports. Small organizations collect years of photos in shared Google Drive folders — usually straight off phones, at full size. PixelCinch shrinks them where they are, for everyone on your team, on one plan.
Why shared photo folders get heavy
Every staff member and volunteer uploads from their own phone. Each photo is 3–8 MB, often more for iPhone HEIC files that half your team cannot even open. The folder becomes slow to browse, slow to share with a designer or a funder, and the files are too big to drop into an email or a grant portal.
The usual workaround
- Someone downloads the folder to their laptop
- Runs the photos through an online compressor, a few at a time
- Uploads them again and hopes nothing got lost
- Repeats it every season
With PixelCinch
- Pick the folder in Google Drive, shared drives included
- Choose a size for screens, print or the web
- Smaller versions are saved back in the same folder
- HEIC becomes JPG that everyone can open
One plan for the whole team
The Team plan is $49 a month for everyone on your email domain — staff, part-timers and volunteers with a domain address. No seats to manage, no licenses to reassign when people come and go. Your Google Workspace admin can install it for everyone at once from the Admin console. Everyone also gets 50 images a month free, so you can try it on a real folder first.
What it saves
In a measured run, twelve real photos went from 81.3 MB to 1.5 MB, and a 43.5 MB iPhone HEIC came down to 412 KB. See every file and what changed. Photos are compressed in the browser and never pass through a PixelCinch server.
Event videos too
Performance and event videos fill a shared Drive faster than photos. The same Team plan compresses videos in the browser and saves them back as MP4, usually at about a quarter of the size. How video compression works.

Questions
We use Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Does it work?
Yes. PixelCinch works with any Google Workspace edition, including the free one from Google for Nonprofits, and with personal Google accounts too.
How does the Team plan work?
One subscription, $49 a month, covers everyone whose email is on your organization’s domain. Nobody needs their own license and there are no seats to count — new staff and volunteers with a domain address are covered automatically.
Can our admin install it for everyone?
Yes. A Google Workspace admin can install PixelCinch for the whole domain, or for chosen groups, from the Google Admin console. People can also add it themselves from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
What does PixelCinch see of our files?
Only the files a person picks in Google’s file picker. It cannot list or read anything else in your Drive. The images are compressed inside the browser and never sent to a PixelCinch server.
Can we pay annually or by invoice?
Yes. We can send a formal quote, bill a year in advance on one invoice, and fill in vendor forms. Email help@pixelcinch.com.
