Very disappointed: I had to delete all of the desqueezed images and rescale them in Photoshop. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Good App, Bad Watermark *2024-12-19* This is app is really good and does exactly what it advertises. However, in a recent(ish) update, there is now a watermark on exports for free users. Of course, the app has to make money, but would love if there was an option to watch ads to get rid of the watermark or something similar - for a lot of free users the added watermark removes most of the value from the app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We'll consider this option for future versions. ### 5/5 — Sam *2024-08-26, version 3.6.4* Radmacher ### 5/5 — Does What It Says *2024-08-04* This app is just what I was looking for. The provided templates keep things simple and the folders for originals, photos, and videos in the Photos app keep your work organized. It’s well worth the price! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. ### 5/5 — Great Batch Tool for Up- and Downsizing Pics *2024-02-25* This is a great iOS-Tool for overviewing and batch-modifying the size of pictures stored in the camera roll! It is possible to up- and down-scale pictures with a defined quality. I especially like the possibility to preserve the original file names (with an customized tag). Thanks for this great tool, which is available on a „one-time-buy option“! ps. a great feature to include: expand data access to iCloud-Drive!? **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We'll consider adding this feature in future versions. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-12-30, version 3.4.9* I have been using this app for years. It’s still the best resizing app I’ve ever used. Thanks ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2023-10-08* Very Useful made Impossible Possible Very Happy Indeed 👏💯 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. ### 5/5 — Does what it says! *2023-03-26* Great app - needed to batch resize a load of images to 512x512 and this did it with no fuss or issues. Upgrade to Pro was not needed but purchased anyway to show support as it was only £2.99 and not a subscription for once! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. ### 5/5 — Desqueeze *2023-03-20* A very cool and fun application.👍💕 We wish you success and expect more from you 👋🏻🌹💕😍 Desqueeze is a very interesting and useful application that I recommend 👍 It works to change the resolution of the video and images and change their sizes... We thank the workers for developing this application 🙏🌹 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. ### 3/5 — RAW *2023-01-03* It doesn’t seem to keep the meta data when converting raw files. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — not free *2024-12-30, version 4.2.9* the only reason i downloaded this is because i need to be able to input custom numbers for resizing which it worked for but then it adds a watermark to the photo and says you have to pay to remove it. Just for a resize lol so i had to go through the extra step of photoshopping their watermark off the picture. so it's just unnecessary. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2024-11-07* I don’t like the new interface at all. I can’t get my photos to resize or use a template. I used this every day for fast resizing now I’m so frustrated. Why do developers try and fix a good thing? At least give an option to go back to the previous version as it is way too complex now, used to be my favorite but I will be looking for something more simple once again! **Developer response:** New update 4.1.0, released on November 7, adds Home Screen modes and should fix your issue. You can now select Classic mode to use the interface as it was before. Your personal templates are in the "My templates" tab. ### 1/5 — It used to be good *2024-04-27* I have been using the app for 3 years consistently and it worked amazing. Recently I have noticed when using the app, I will click on the photos to compress and after clicking to the button the app freezes and then goes back to my Home Screen. Once I refresh it three times, then it starts to work. I would recommend fixing this bug. **Developer response:** Thank you for contacting us. We're investigating the issue. Providing more details via email may speed up the resolution of the problem. ### 1/5 — Cannot save to photos app *2024-03-08, version 3.6.0* Cannot save to photos app confusing. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2023-06-15, version 3.4.4* Just says Processing and never finishes anymore. Tried restarting phone. Tried deleting and reinstalling. ### 1/5 — Desqueeze *2023-04-07* I bought this to resize iPhone photos so I can email several at a time. It should be easy to select 20 photos and reduce the file sizes so I don’t exceed email limitations. Therapy gives several options and templates but every time I tried to resize it kept every previous attempt. My 20 photo grew to number. 140+. There is a “select all” but no “delete all”. This is my first day to use the ap. After a few weeks I will have hundreds of duplicate that O will have to weed through. Also, the Apple “live” photo mode is an additional pain. You have to delete the .mov files before resizing. This process is a disappointment! **Developer response:** There is "Delete" button in the lower right corner of the "Results" screen when one or more results are selected. It allows to remove your "Results". Desqueeze supports "live" photo resizing when the option "Support Live Photos" is enabled in the in-app Settings. If this option is disabled, the app makes plain images. There is no need to remove anything on the side. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2023-03-28, version 3.4.3* Number of images in batch : 1-30. Always took a long time to start, but now doesn’t start at all, and only crashes. (This bug might be related to the photo library size, but it wouldn’t make logical sense.) ### 1/5 — Screwed up *2022-11-03, version 3.4.0* What happened to the pre-built templates? They’re all blank now ?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — What happened? *2024-11-10* I don’t like the new interface at all. I can’t get my photos to resize or use a template. I used this every day for fast resizing now I’m so frustrated. Why do developers try and fix a good thing? At least give an option to go back to the previous version as it is way too complex now, used to be my favorite but I will be looking for something more simple once again! EDIT It’s 5 stars again!! Thank you to the dev for updating to make it better than before!! **Developer response:** New update 4.1.0, released on November 7, adds Home Screen modes and should fix your issue. You can now select Classic mode to use the interface as it was before. Your personal templates are in the "My templates" tab. ### 5/5 — Wow your team is the best! *2024-11-08, version 4.1.0* Just over two weeks ago (Oct 23 2024), they released the new 4.0 interface. I posted a review about that, with a request to provide a user setting to select the home page style as I preferred the original style. WOW, they added this feature in todays release (Nov 8 2024)! Thanks for listening to your customers and actually implementing this setting - your team is the best! ### 5/5 — Love this app, but not fan of new 4.0 interface *2024-10-24* I have used this app for a couple of years now and love it. However, I am not a fan of the new interface - it is definitely not an improvement for my way of using this app. I understand that different people use the app with different workflows. Previously, I could open the app and immediately see the list of my recent photos. I would pick my photo(s), click next, select the manual resize settings, then click next and get them done - very quick. Now, with 4.0, I see a screen with all kinds of target resize template options instead of my list of photos. I very rarely use the provided templates. Now I have to click a plus sign (+) to see the list of my photos, then select my photo(s), and then click [Add] to get to the manual resize settings screen. Suggested enhancement: Provide user setting to select the default screen when app is first opened - option a. List of templates and option b. List of photos. Thanks for your consideration. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We'll consider adding the suggested option in future versions. ### 5/5 — Juste génial !!! *2024-09-09, version 3.6.4* L’app que je cherchais depuis des années. Au lieu de passer mille ans à réduire mes screenshots un à un pour limiter leur poids et donc impact carbone sur le cloud j’ai pu faire 2000 screenshots d’un coup. C’est juste génial ! Il ne manque que d’avoir l’app présente quand on touche le bouton exporter après avoir sélectionné quelques photos. Bravo aux développeurs ! MAJ sept2024 : ça serait super d’avoir un export vers du JPEG XL. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
