Pretty good compression tool

Creates small and high quality compressions with ease. Only flaw is that it doesn’t allow sorting by file size.

stupid offers

this app is horrible to claim to be free but does not allow me to compress a photo because the BUY subscription pops up the 50 times I tried to compress a photo

Easy Peezy

The App is very easy to use. The quality of compressed images are flawless. I am photographer who send image to websites and the compression is very good. Worth the money if you are creative.
