How to load an image dataset without my RAM die trying

Hi, I’m new using tensorflow and ML, and I have a question. How can I load a image folder with thousands of imagen with tensorflow? I know that tensorflow can load multiple folders in a directory or categorize data from multiple folders but I only have one folder with that images and I can’t found in the documentation of tensorflow how to load that single folder without convert in ZIP.

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don’t know how to solve this. Some people told me to load the data with system.os but the RAM don’t support that magnitude of images.

Thank you
