## What is Stay Compress?

Is your phone constantly warning you about full storage? Are your pictures too heavy to send via email, or do online forms reject your files for being too large? Plus, every time you share a picture, you might be exposing hidden personal information without even knowing it.

Stay Compress puts you in complete control and offers the ultimate solution to your capacity problems.

COMPRESS, DO NOT JUST RESIZE
There is a big difference between scaling a picture down to look smaller on a screen and actually compressing it. Our application specializes in minimizing the actual file weight of your photos. This means you can keep a visually stunning gallery that takes up a fraction of its original space, solving your storage limits at the root so you can keep saving memories.

TARGET SIZE MODE: YOU SET THE LIMIT
Do you need a picture to weigh less than a specific limit for a school form or a work email? Forget about guessing. Turn on the Target Size mode, tell the application the maximum weight you need, and it will automatically adjust the settings behind the scenes to hit that exact goal.

MANUAL CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
If you prefer to tweak every detail, the power is in your hands. Adjust quality levels and scale intuitively using our simple sliders. You decide the perfect balance between file weight and picture clarity.

TOTAL TRANSPARENCY
Stay Compress does not hide information or do magic in the dark. The application shows you real, exact data about the process at all times. You will clearly see the original weight of your file compared to the final weight, showing you the exact difference you are achieving. You will know exactly what you get before taking the next step.

BEFORE AND AFTER PREVIEW
Worried your pictures might lose detail? Before saving finally, you have the option to see a direct comparison of your original picture next to the processed version. Check the visual details and ensure everything looks exactly how you want. You only save when you are completely satisfied with the result, with no surprises.

PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY WHEN SHARING
Every time you take a picture, your phone saves invisible data: the exact location where you were, the date, the time, and your device model. Stay Compress allows you to wipe all that hidden information with a single tap. This way, when you share your moments on social media or messages, you will only share what you see in the picture, protecting your security and that of your loved ones.

BATCH PROCESSING
Do you have a gallery full of memories from your last trip? Do not waste time doing it one by one. Select multiple pictures at the same time and process them all in bulk using the same configuration.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR DEVICE
Your privacy is our priority. You do not need an internet connection to use the application. The entire process happens internally on your phone or tablet. Your memories are never sent to external servers or leave your device.
