Ricly reads the selection — the menu itself says (30 files) before you click — and runs a few at a time. Several of the sites above take a batch too; with Ricly, the results land next to the originals, with nothing to download.
What macOS already does, first. Recent versions put a handful of actions straight into the right-click menu — rotate, create a PDF, convert an image, remove a background — and they are free and built in. Which of them you see depends on the file type and the Finder extensions you have turned on. Ricly adds the rest of this page to that same menu: compressing a PDF, converting audio to MP3, finding duplicate files, sending a large file with a link. Ricly is the same gesture extended to those jobs, in one menu that behaves the same way every time. Finding the file counts as a step on a website, because you have to go and look for it in a picker. Waiting is never counted: they all wait. Sixteen of the seventeen tools run on your Mac and send nothing; Upload & Share is the one that uploads, and it is the one job where everybody does.
