Squeez

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.
