Easy Photo Compressor helps you reduce photo and image file size, save storage space, and make sharing or uploading pictures faster. Use it when your iPhone storage is running low, when a photo is too large to send by email or chat, or when you need lighter images for social media, blogs, websites, or online forms. Compare the original and compressed image before saving, then adjust resolution, quality, file format, and target size. You can check the output file size and reduction rate, so it is easy to find the right balance between image quality and file size. Main features: ・Compress photos from your photo library ・Select images from Files / iCloud Drive ・Batch compress multiple photos ・Before / After comparison preview ・Show resolution, file size, and reduction rate ・Target size mode: 200KB, 500KB, 1MB, 2MB, and more ・Resize images to 320 / 640 / 960 / 1280 / 1920px or by percentage ・Adjust image quality in 5 levels ・Supports JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and AVIF ・Keep or remove Exif and GPS location data ・Save or share compressed images ・Delete the original photos after compressing to free up space ・Choose a save album ・Customize output file names ・Sort photos by date, width, or height Easy target size optimization: When you need an image under 500KB, within 2MB, or close to another file size, Target Size Mode is useful. The app adjusts image dimensions and quality to get closer to the selected file size. Free up space: After checking the compressed photos, you can delete the originals. To actually free up storage, also delete them from Recently Deleted in the Photos app. Privacy control: Photos can contain Exif data and GPS location information. You can choose whether to keep or remove this metadata before uploading photos to social media, blogs, websites, or online services. Recommended for: ・Freeing up iPhone storage ・Reducing photo size for email or messaging ・Optimizing images for social media, blogs, and websites ・Compressing JPEG, HEIC, PNG, WebP, and AVIF images ・Removing Exif or GPS data before sharing ・Batch compressing many photos at once With Pro, you can remove ads, compress 3 or more photos at once, sort photos, use double-tap zoom, delete 3 or more original photos at once, choose save albums, customize file names, and unlock all advanced features.

PicWorks puts the six image tools you actually use into one fully offline app: compress, resize, convert, crop & rotate, strip metadata, and watermark. Every tool works in batches, and everything happens on your phone — no network permission, no account, no ads. ■ Six tools • Compress: by quality, or set a target like "under 500 KB / 2 MB" — quality first, then size, with before/after numbers for each picture • Resize: by pixels, percent or longest side; never upscales unless you ask; keep aspect or stretch • Convert: JPEG, PNG and WebP in any direction; reads HEIC; transparent images get a white background when going to JPEG • Crop & Rotate: free, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16 and more (13 presets), 90° rotation and flips; phone photos are put upright before cropping • Strip Metadata: see the device, time, software and GPS coordinates hidden in each picture, then remove all of it (metadata is cut out at the byte level, so this step adds no recompression of its own; HEIC is converted to JPEG first) • Watermark: text marks placed on a 3×3 grid or tiled diagonally across the picture; size, opacity, colour and shadow, with a live preview that matches the export ■ Why PicWorks • Six-in-one: no separate app (and separate subscription) for compressing, stripping EXIF and watermarking • Truly offline: the app requests no network permission, so your pictures never leave your phone • Batch: pick many, watch one progress bar, then compare every result with a draggable before/after slider • Buy once: the free version runs every tool in full on up to 3 pictures per run; Pro is a one-time purchase for unlimited batches, WebP export, watermark presets and remembered settings in the compress, resize, convert, crop and watermark tools • Dark mode, English and Chinese ■ Who it's for Anyone squeezing photos under a forum, email or form limit, anyone removing location data before sharing, creators signing their work in bulk, and everyone converting between HEIC, PNG and WebP. Free: all six tools, up to 3 pictures per run. Pro (one-time): unlimited batch size, WebP export, saved watermark presets, and the compress, resize, convert, crop and watermark tools remember your last settings.
