Compresso: Photo Compress

Photo compressors used to be simple. Then they filled up with banner ads and hid the useful features behind $50-a-year subscriptions. Read the 1-star reviews of any "Top 5" photo compressor — it's all the same complaint. Compresso is what a photo compressor should be in 2026. WHAT YOU GET Zero ads. Not now, not after 30 days, not ever. No banners, no pop-ups, no "sponsored." The screen is yours. Unlimited batch. Pick 10 or 500 photos at once. A Live Activity on your Lock Screen shows live progress while Compresso works in parallel. Target-size mode. Type "500 KB" or "2 MB" and Compresso searches for the exact quality that hits your number — for resume uploads, forum attachment limits, and form submissions that reject big files. HEIC, JPEG, PNG, WebP — convert in any direction, so anyone can open the photos you send, on any device. Smart face-aware mode (iPhone 15 Pro and later). Vision-detected faces stay sharp while the background compresses harder. Better-looking photos, same file size. Apple Shortcut + App Intents. Build a single Shortcut that compresses the last 10 photos and emails them to your sister. Compresso plugs into the rest of iOS. EXIF control. Preserve metadata for your photography catalog, or strip it for privacy. Your call, one toggle. iOS 26 first-class. Delete-original support, HEIC encoding without the "0-bytes crash" bug other apps still have, Live Activities — all working. PAY ONCE, OWN FOREVER Other photo compressors charge $30-$50 a year. Compresso is $3.99 once. Pro unlocks unlimited batch, all output formats, target-size mode, EXIF control, smart face-aware mode, Apple Shortcut, and alternate app icons. Free tier compresses 5 JPEGs a day, no card required. 100% ON-DEVICE Compresso never sends your photos anywhere. There is no server. There are no third-party analytics. There are no tracking SDKs. Photo Library permission reads only what you pick and saves only when you ask. The Privacy Nutrition Label says "Data Not Collected" — and we mean it. MADE BY ONE PERSON Built by an indie developer who got fed up. If something breaks or you want a feature, email xxhhuan2022@163.com.
