Photos that are already small the moment you take them. No round trip through a separate compression app. Set a target file size once, and every shot comes out at or under it. TARGET FILE SIZE Choose 20KB, 30KB, 50KB, 100KB, 200KB, 500KB or 1MB. Resolution and compression are adjusted automatically to land under your target — useful when an upload form caps you at 500KB and you would rather not reshoot. FOUR QUALITY LEVELS - Standard: full size - Light: 2048px on the long edge - Ultra light: 1280px on the long edge - Target size: the automatic mode above DATE STAMPS Burn the date into the photo like a film camera. Control the corner, the date format, white or black text, the text size, and whether the time is included. LIGHTWEIGHT VIDEO Recorded in HEVC, so clips land at roughly half the size of H.264 at comparable quality. Resolution and bitrate follow your quality setting between 1080p and 720p. IN-APP STORAGE Keep captures inside the app instead of your photo library, so they never mix in with everything else. SHOOTING - Aspect ratios: 3:4, 1:1, 9:16, 2:3 - Zoom and front/rear switching - Landscape capture - Shutter volume control, including silent GOOD FOR - Meeting file size limits on forms and applications - Attaching several photos to email or a marketplace listing - Saving space on your device and in the cloud - Retro date-stamped shots - Long sessions of job-site or record keeping photos LANGUAGES English, 日本語, 简体中文, 한국어, हिन्दी, नेपाली No in-app purchases.
