Simple shortcuts are the best ones. I love to optimise repetitive tasks without overcomplicating things and create shortcuts that could be a pain to maintain.

So, here’s a shortcut I use every time I need to post some image here. ¹

Overview

• Launch the shortcut after selecting files in the Finder
• Choose a title for the images
  • The current date will automatically be added at the beginning of the file name with the format yyyy-mm-dd
  • A number will be automatically be added at the end of the file name
• The image will be resized to width:1280px, and optimised for the web
  • Also, all the metadata will be stripped from it
• The new images will be saved in the same folder of the files you selected
• An alert will let you choose if you want to delete the original images or not

Trivia

• Use Repeat index to increase numbers inside of a Repeat with Each
• Use Get parent directory to target the folder of the shortcut input files
