iOS Shortcut: Bulk resizing photos

I often take screenshots when watching course video. Those screenshots are usually very sharp and large. That’s oversized as reference purpose. So I need to bulk resizing them into smaller size for storage.

The following shortcut takes multiple photos from share sheet and resize the images into 25%, 50%, 75% size. It will then prompt to delete the original photos.
