Choose a file-size target. Skip the bitrate math. CompressNG uses the MB target you choose to calculate compression for photos and videos. Select 10 MB, 25 MB, 50 MB, or a custom target from 1–200 MB. Add media from Photos or Files—or send it from another app's Share menu. Compress a mixed batch, inspect the result, then save or share the output where you need it. Built for email attachments, school or work forms, messaging, upload limits, and reclaiming storage.
