About

ExactPic

Features

A photo is too large to upload? ExactPic helps you reduce image file size to a target in KB, with local processing and a clear view of the result. Prepare smaller pictures for forms, email attachments and everyday sharing without sending your source photos to our servers. CHOOSE A FILE-SIZE TARGET Use 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB presets, or enter a custom target. The compressor adjusts JPEG quality and, when necessary, image dimensions to work toward that limit. A target is an upper-size goal, not a promise to produce an identical byte count for every image. ONE PHOTO OR A BATCH OF NINE Select up to 9 pictures from your photo library and process them together using the same target. Follow progress and see which images completed. Useful when a form needs several smaller attachments or you want to prepare a set of photos for sending. CHECK BEFORE YOU SAVE Review original and output file sizes, dimensions and the percentage saved. Open a full-screen preview to decide whether the result suits your purpose. Save an individual result, save all completed images, or open the iOS share sheet to send an image using your available apps. ON-DEVICE COMPRESSION The compression task runs on your device. HEIC and HEIF images are re-encoded as JPEG during processing. A supported non-HEIC image already below the target can pass through without another lossy compression step. Clear temporary generated files from Settings when you no longer need them. FREE TO USE, OPTIONAL LIFETIME AD-FREE The app includes advertising. A one-time Ad-Free Lifetime purchase removes app-open, banner and interstitial ads; it does not change compression quality, batch limits or privacy protections. Restore a qualifying purchase through the app. Advertising, purchases and restoration may need an internet connection. USE THE RIGHT RESULT Very small targets can reduce visible detail or dimensions, and some images cannot meet a requested target. Check the saved result and the destination's rules before uploading. ExactPic reduces the file size of an existing ID photo; it does not take a compliant passport photo, replace its background, edit PDF files or compress video.
