## What is Optimo?

Your iPhone is full of bytes you can't see. Optimo gives them back.

Optimo shrinks photos and videos right on your phone — same look on any
screen, a fraction of the size. Pick a few files or your whole camera roll,
tap once, and watch the gigabytes come back.

WHAT GETS SMALLER
• Screenshots: up to 85% smaller — hundreds of them in one tap
• Photos: Camera HEICs shrink, imported JPEGs drop by about half, 48 MP
  shots come down to a crisp 24 MP
• Videos: re-encoded in HEVC (H.265) — the same quality at around a third
  fewer bytes, playing natively on every iPhone
• Live Photos: cleaned up with the rest (switch it off in Settings to keep
  every one untouched)

SAFE BY DESIGN
• Every optimized copy is verified in your library before an original is
  ever deleted
• Before/after comparison on every result — see exactly what changed
• RAW, slo-mo and Cinematic captures are always protected

PRIVATE. ACTUALLY.
• Everything runs on your device — nothing is uploaded, ever
• No account. No analytics. No tracking. No ads.
• The App Store label says "Data Not Collected" because none is.

FREE UP SPACE FAST
• Free up space: find your biggest files and shrink them in one tap
• Clean up screenshots: every screenshot, one tap
• Clean up originals: reclaim the space once copies are safely saved
• Track what you've saved over time

Optimo Pro (optional): unlimited optimizing with a weekly or monthly
subscription, or a single lifetime purchase. Free every day: 10 photos and
5 videos. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your App
Store account settings.

• New Smart preset (now the default): every photo gets smaller — screenshots
  up to 85%, imported JPEGs about half, 48 MP shots down to a crisp 24 MP,
  and Camera HEICs still lose a real chunk. Looks identical on any screen.

  fewer bytes, playing natively on every iPhone.
• Max space: the biggest savings, still sharp on any display.

  copy is a still). Keep them untouched with one switch in Settings.

• Introducing Optimo Pro — optimize without limits, with a weekly or monthly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase.
