Need a smaller photo for a form, an email or an application? SnapSize is a photo compressor and image resizer that reduces image size from MB to KB right on your phone. Set the exact size, pick your photos, and you are done. Processing happens on your device, so your photos are never uploaded. COMPRESS PHOTOS TO AN EXACT SIZE Tap 50 KB, 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB, or type the limit you need. SnapSize lowers quality first and reduces resolution only if needed, to keep the picture sharp. If a size cannot be reached, the app tells you instead of quietly going over it. Prefer a simple choice? Shrink by quality instead: smallest file, balanced or high quality. KNOW THE SIZE BEFORE YOU START See how big your images are now and about how small they will get. Preview one photo first, then compare before and after with a slider. RESIZE IMAGES AND CROP PHOTOS • Resize images to an exact width and height in pixels, or by percentage • Lock the aspect ratio to keep the proportions • Crop by hand or with 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 3:2 and 35Ɨ45 mm READY SIZES FOR YOUR UPLOADS • Story 1080Ɨ1920 • Passport 35Ɨ45 mm • Photo 50Ɨ60 mm Sizes only.

Location is removed. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE All processing happens on your device, and compressing works without internet. Only ads and purchases need a connection. HISTORY, WIDGET AND QUICK ACTIONS History keeps every result, with filters and bulk delete. The Home Screen widget and the app icon's quick actions open each tool in one tap.
