Make big files small — fast. Parad0x Compress reduces the size of your photos, videos, and PDFs so you can save storage, upload quicker, and share instantly. What you can compress • Photos: HEIC, AVIF, PNG, JPG (and more) • Videos: MOV, MP4 (and more) • Documents: PDF compression Why you’ll like Free version • One-tap compression (no settings PhD required) • Choose your balance: smaller size vs higher quality • Cleaner sharing: smaller attachments, faster sends • Fast share option - Works great for messaging, email, and cloud uploads Pro version • Batch processing (compress multiple files in one go) • Advanced output options (like AVIF where available) • No limits Note:  • Output results depend on the original file (some files are already optimised and won’t shrink much). • Compression results vary by file type, resolution, and device performance. Some formats (like AVIF) can take longer but deliver better savings. • RAW/DNG/TIFF support is best-effort. These formats can differ a lot between camera brands and apps (bit depth, embedded previews, tiled TIFFs, vendor metadata). On some devices, certain files may fail to decode or may require more memory than your phone can safely allocate. • If a RAW/DNG/TIFF file fails, try: re-opening the file and retrying, switching compression mode, or exporting/converting it to JPG/PNG/HEIC first. If you have questions or feedback, reach us via the Support link in the app listing. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Squeez

Features
Read full description

Squeez helps you reclaim iPhone storage by compressing photos and videos — automatically, privately, and without losing visible quality. ONE-TAP AUTO OPTIMIZE Squeez scans your entire library, identifies what can be compressed, and shows you the exact savings before anything changes. One tap. Done. PHOTOS Convert large photos to HEIC format at high quality. Squeez skips screenshots, Live Photos, and files that are already optimized — so you never compress something twice. VIDEOS Re-encode oversized videos at a smarter bitrate. Squeez calculates the exact target based on your file's real size, not guesses — guaranteeing the output is always smaller than the input. FIND DUPLICATES Detect exact and visually similar duplicate photos. Review them side by side and delete the ones you don't need. MANUAL TOOLS Want more control? Use the Tools tab to compress individual photos or videos at Light, Medium, or Heavy levels. 100% ON-DEVICE Everything happens on your iPhone. No accounts. No uploads. No servers. Your photos never leave your device. PRIVACY FIRST Squeez requires photo library access to analyze and compress your files. That's it. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection of any kind. SMART PROTECTION Already-compressed files are automatically skipped. Squeez won't re-encode a video that's already efficient, protecting your media quality across multiple optimization runs.
