SelfShot is built for batches. Process forty photos at once, or run the same set through several marketplaces to cross-list, with one folder per marketplace in the ZIP.
Because everything runs in your browser, there is no per-image limit and no waiting on an upload. Your photos stay on your device.
Most online resizers handle one image at a time and give you a generic size. SelfShot is built around the batch. Drop forty photos, pick a marketplace, and every image is squared, sized, padded to white, and compressed under that marketplace's file-size limit in one pass. You download a single ZIP with correctly named files.
The filenames tell you what each file is: the original name, the marketplace, and the dimensions, so a folder of exports stays organized even with dozens of photos.
If you sell the same item on more than one site, select several marketplaces and SelfShot runs every photo through each one. It shows you the math up front, for example forty photos times three marketplaces equals one hundred and twenty images, and groups the output into one folder per marketplace inside the ZIP.
You can also apply another marketplace later without re-importing. SelfShot keeps your originals in memory, so adding eBay after you have already done Etsy just adds the eBay folder to your downloads.
Nothing is uploaded. Decoding, resizing, padding, compression, and the final ZIP all happen on your own device, which is why there is no per-image limit and no waiting on a server. It also means the tool is free and your photos stay private.
