I wrote this script 📜 to automate deleting 💀 images 🖼️ under a given resolution. I took a data dump 💾 of all of my Google Photos content from 2016 when I went travelling 🥾 and uploaded all my images 📸 in "Original Resolution". Not wanting to increase this quota 💸, or lose the full-res versions of my images, I decided to backup 📥 what I could, then recover my storage space.
To use this script, simply replace the values for directory, resolutionLimit, and acceptedFiletypes (in lowercase) in index.js, then run npm start. All files equal to or under the resolutionLimit (in megapixels) will be deleted.
Note: If you run into this pesky error: TypeError: Corrupt JPG, exceeded buffer limits, I have a kludge...
Open index.js in node_modules/image-size/dist (I know, I know, I'm sorry), and alter the following line:
const MaxBufferSize = 512 * 1024;to
const MaxBufferSize = 1024 * 1024;This has fixed all my buffering issues, but your mileage may vary.
