This app allows user to take photos and videos at lower resolution and even custom resolution down to 20x20 pixels! You can also batch compress upto 50 photos in one click. Save massive space on videos and photos! Sometimes we want to capture very small sized video to quickly send to other people for various reasons including but not limited to: - Debugging - Quick preview - Save storage space - LoFi for fun - Quick sharing on social media. - Different picture / video dimensions. - Option to save both high res and low res copies of the same image. - Option to preserve timestamp after converting image or video. Preset resolutions: 120p - 120 x 160 ~ 0.02 MP (megapixels) 240p - 240 x 320 ~ 0.08 MP 360p - 360 x 480 ~ 0.17 MP 480p - 480 x 640 ~ 0.3 MP 720p - 720 x 1280 ~ 0.9 MP Other Features - Choose lower audio quality or no audio at all. - Save to custom folder. - Batch conversion of up to 50 images / videos at once. - One click conversion.
