On my disks I have a lot of family and non-family pictures (thumbnails, caches etc). I know for sure that family pictures are much bigger.
Is there any way to tell exiftool to deal only with files bigger than X ?
Use something like
-if "$filesize# >4000000"
where the number is number of bytes.
Depending on what you are doing, you may be able to speed up processing significantly by using -if5 instead of -if. Read the application documentation for details.

I looked at:
https://exiftool.org/
https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html
https://exiftool.org/faq.html
but none of those mentioned $filesize option.
Which specific page will tell me about "if" and "filesize" ?
-if option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#if-NUM-EXPR)
Extra Tags page (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Extra.html)
Also, the hashtag at the end of Filesize is a shortcut for the -n (--printConv) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#n---printConv) which will give you the size in bytes rather than converting it to K/M/G/TBytes.
