Photo Compressor & Cleanup

Read full description

Compress photos and PDFs to a specific KB size for upload forms, portals and sharing. Set an exact limit and the app hits it, every time. EXACT KB TARGETING Set a precise target like 20 KB, 50 KB or 100 KB. The app finds the best quality that fits your limit. Custom targets from 10 KB to 5000 KB are supported. RESIZE AND CROP Set the dimensions as well as the size. Type a width and height in pixels, millimetres, centimetres or inches, or pick a passport, ID photo, UPSC or visa preset. Crop to a square, portrait or landscape shape, or drag your own. The photo is resized first, then compressed to your KB limit. COMPRESS A PDF Bring a document under a size limit the same way, for the portals that ask for a scanned form or a certificate under a fixed size. CONVERT HEIC TO JPG iPhone photos are saved as HEIC. This app converts them to JPG and compresses to your target size in one step, ready to upload anywhere. OPENS MORE FILE TYPES TIFF, GIF and BMP files can be opened too, alongside JPG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF and WebP. COMPRESSION PRESETS Choose High Quality, Balanced or Smallest File. Adjust the image dimensions too, if you want to. MULTIPLE PHOTOS Compress up to 20 photos at once. Both exact KB and preset modes work with batch selection. SAVE AND SHARE Save compressed copies to your gallery, or send them straight from the share sheet. Batch save and batch share are both supported. PORTAL SIZE GUIDE A built-in guide to common upload limits for government portals, visa applications and exam forms, passport photos and more. Tap any entry to use that limit straight away. BEFORE AND AFTER Compare the original and the compressed copy side by side, and drag the divider across the photo to see exactly what changed before you save. FREE UP STORAGE Out of space? The app finds the largest photos in your library, shows you exactly which ones and what each would save, and compresses them. The originals move to Recently Deleted, so you have about 30 days to bring any of them back. Scanning is free, and the saving is measured on your own photos before you decide. YOUR SAVINGS See how much space you have saved since you started, and what you compressed to get there. IPHONE AND IPAD One purchase covers both, and every screen is laid out for the size it is on. PRIVACY All compression happens on your device. No account is needed, and your photos and documents are never uploaded. Your originals are never changed. REMOVE HIDDEN PHOTO DATA Photos carry location, camera and other hidden information. Turn it off and the compressed copy leaves it behind, so what you upload is the picture and nothing else. FREE TO TRY, THEN YOUR CHOICE Your first two exports are free. After that, Photos unlocks unlimited photo exports, batch processing and one-tap passport, ID and visa sizes as a one-time purchase. Pro adds PDF compression and storage cleanup: start Pro Yearly with a 3-day free trial, or pay once and keep it. Purchases stay yours on the same Apple Account.
