轻像是一款纯本地的图片压缩与格式转换工具。所有处理都在你的设备上完成,不联网、不上传、不需要账号,也没有广告或统计追踪。 【批量压缩,一目了然】 一次最多处理 12 张照片,实时显示每张的输入与输出体积,以及节省的比例。处理完成后,界面会用绿色徽标告诉你"清晰 +X%"——这是应用实测的图片清晰度变化,而不是空口承诺。 【保清晰,是默认】 默认采用 HEIC 感知无损编码,比同清晰度的 JPEG 体积小得多,还避免了 JPEG 常见的边缘模糊与偏色。开启"保清晰"后保持原图分辨率,绝不主动缩小;你也可以手动设定长边(1280 / 2048 / 4096 / 8192)来控制体积。 【不够清晰的,帮它变清晰】 "智能增强"用边缘感知锐化与局部对比提升,让对焦偏软、发闷的照片肉眼更清晰,而本身清晰的照片几乎不变。 【拖动对比,亲眼验证】 预览页提供原图与处理后的左右拖动对比滑块,清晰度差异一眼可见。 【隐私,从设计开始】 不申请整库照片权限,只用系统照片选择器读取你主动选中的图片;导出会移除原始 EXIF、GPS 等元数据;临时副本存在应用专用目录,清空或卸载即删除、不参与备份;原文件不会被覆盖。 支持 JPG、PNG、HEIC 输入,JPG、PNG、HEIC 输出;透明图导出为 JPG 时填充白色背景。体积以实际处理结果为准。
