Photo Compressor

Photo Compressor frees up iPhone storage by shrinking the photos you already have — without losing the memories attached to them. Pick your photos, compress them, see exactly how much space you got back, then send the originals safely to Recently Deleted. That's the whole app. One job, done carefully. WHY THIS IMAGE COMPRESSOR IS DIFFERENT Honest numbers. The savings you see are measured from the real file sizes on disk, before and after. No inflated "up to 90%" promises, no made-up totals. Your memories stay intact. Dates, times and locations are preserved by default. Your photos keep their place in your library and your timeline — most picture compressor apps quietly strip that away. Nothing is deleted behind your back. Originals are only ever removed after the compressed version is safely saved, and only through the standard iOS dialog. They move to Recently Deleted and stay recoverable for 30 days. Everything happens on your iPhone. No uploads, no servers, no account, no tracking. It works in airplane mode. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Compress photos in batches — hundreds at a time, with live progress • Smart Select finds your biggest photos automatically, largest first • See the estimated saving before you start, and the real saving after • Compare before and after on a real photo, zoomed in, to judge quality yourself • Compress images from HEIC, JPEG and PNG into efficient HEIC • Choose your quality: High, Balanced or Space Saver • Keep or strip location data — your call; dates are always kept • Skip nothing silently: every photo that isn't compressed tells you why • Track your lifetime total of space saved HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap Free up space 2. Let Smart Select pick your largest photos, or choose your own 3. Compress pictures and watch the savings add up 4. Review the before/after comparison 5. Remove the originals — or keep both, and decide later Designed for iPhone and iPad. Full support for Dark Mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver.
