### 2/5 — Lossy Resizing

*2026-06-07, version 4.8.4*

I was deeply enjoying this product, until I took my processed photos to a larger screen and noticed horrible image artifacts in the resized image. Very disappointed: I had to delete all of the desqueezed images and rescale them in Photoshop.

### 5/5 — معرف

*2026-05-16, version 4.8.3*

جميل

### 5/5 — ً

*2026-01-27, version 4.7.10*

انني اريد التصميم على فيديو مدته 3 دقائق و عند تصديره يصبح 30 ثانية !!!

### 5/5 — Great for its job!

*2026-01-11, version 4.7.9*

Exactly what I was looking for, with the old interface being easy to use and very simple.

### 1/5 — Völlig buggy und kryptisch

*2025-11-15*

Die App hängt sich in der letzten Version ständig auf und es ist nicht möglich irgendeine Zielgrösse einzustellen. Die Bedienung ist auch völlig kryptisch und das Tutorial funktioniert überhaupt nicht. Totaler Schrott  - war aber nicht immer so.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie so große Probleme mit der aktuellen Version haben.
Die von Ihnen beschriebenen Abstürze und Bedienungsprobleme konnten wir intern nicht nachvollziehen. Um das Problem zu reproduzieren und zu beheben, benötigen wir mehr Details von Ihnen.
Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns direkt per E-Mail. Nennen Sie uns Ihr Gerätemodell (z.B. iPhone 13), die genaue iOS-Version und idealerweise die Schritte, die zum Einfrieren oder Absturz führen. Auch Details zur gewünschten "Zielgröße" sind hilfreich.
Wir helfen Ihnen gerne persönlich weiter.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-11-05*

Perfect for batches and easy to use

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-09-17*

Good

### 5/5 — Easy to use. Fast resizing. Lots of options.

*2025-05-23*

This app has everything you need for resizing photos quickly and efficiently. It has a nice clean well laid-out user interface. One thing that would be nice would be to see the image file size on each image. It show the dimensions in pixels.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Please try the new update 4.5.9, which adds the file size for each image on the gallery screens.

### 3/5 — It’s does what it say

*2025-03-10, version 4.3.1*

It’s a good app but they do not offer a 1.1 desqueeze for the DJI osmo pocket 3’s anamorphic lenses

### 1/5 — Anyone Else Upset

*2025-02-13, version 4.3.0*

That they turned this great free app and made it literally unusable by adding a stupid watermark to all your created images. Wanting to be profitable is one thing but alienating your entire “free user” base is beyond absurd. Even with the lack of many other quality options I finally found an alternative app that has an excellent level of quality to it similar to this app. But without the issues introduced to this app recently.

The app is called

“Image Resizer - Photo Compress”

and has an orange red logo on a white background with 4 dots in each corner. The app has the same features of desqueeze but also has a bunch of others such as changing the metadata of the images, location data, type of file (png, jpg, etc) and even if you want to delete the original images once the new images are processed! Overall, this app is much better than desqueeze.

I wasn’t paid by the other app for this. This is my own opinion. They routinely have offered the app I mentioned above, the lifetime subscription for it absolutely free which is how I initially got it. So 100% free for a lifetime of use. No watermark and a lot more useful features than desqueeze.

Check it out if you were having a hard time finding alternatives to desqueeze.
