Flash Drive's

I save my pictures to a flash drive and I was wondering if their their is some way of compressing them to get them all on one drive ? My flash drive is 16 GB . I was told I would have all kinds of room for my pictures., I have around 1500 ,is that to many?

Thank You

 

What format and size are the pictures saved at? With your flash drive plugged in open My Computer and right click on the icon for the flash drive. Select properties and see how much space the pictures are using.

 

Thanks for getting back to me wiskeyman , They are a JPEG image and one picture is 824 kb!

 

there should be enough room, but why do you want them all on a Flash drive and compress them you are loosing the quality of the picture by compressing and you will not be able to get it back.
If you want your pictures to be portable why not DVD's or USB external HDD uncompressed.

 

If all pictures are 824 kb then 1500 of them would only be about .15 GB. It should take around 10,000 pictures at that size just to take up 1 GB of space.

 

Using;

1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabyte = 1048576 Kilobyte

 

The other wonky calculator I used came up with 1.47xxxxx
