Offline Image Optimizer/ Compressor

I just tried out ShortPixel having paid for the 12000 images subscription.

Hope you did not set it as a subscription, they have one-time payment for $9.95 in the pricing tab to the right.

However, the compression is so much that I decided to not use it.

Have you set the size in settings and the right compression level right? Never had that problem myself during the years I´ve used it.

Did you try their ShortPixel AI plugin to, you can use the same account points that you bought?

Photoshop, ofcourse. I know it's paid, but you could still get it to work if you know your ways; or just get it for a month may be. The batch actions in photoshop is awesome! You resize the image once, and the batch action lets you do it for all.

Other than that, ffmpeg could possibly do it too (but I have never tried ffmpeg on an image).

A few more tricks (but not offline per se)..
Upload those files in whatsapp. Generally it's very annoying that WAP scales the images down, but in your case it can actually do the job for free.
Upload those files in fb. Should be the same effect as Whatsapp.
Upload those files in imgur. I know this one works, because I use it to post to BHW. BHW cannot upload the images from my camera, because they are too big.
I can't edit this post anymore, so here's an update...

I just made a tutorial on how to compress these images using ffmpeg (windows only).
Give it a try may be. :)

You might want to try GIMP. It's free - and has a batch mode.
