Real Image Compressor vs Bytesweep

Real Image Compressor does what other apps only pretend to do: it truly compresses your JPEG photos instead of simply resizing them. You stay in full control of quality, metadata, and output. Why "real" compression matters Most photo compression apps just scale down your images. That changes the resolution and often ruins the photo. Real Image Compressor applies actual JPEG compression algorithms that significantly reduce file size while keeping your original resolution intact. You are in control Choose from three quality levels (Low, Medium, High) to find the perfect balance between file size and image quality. Decide whether to strip EXIF metadata like location data, camera info, and timestamps for added privacy, or keep it all. Multiple ways to compress Pick photos directly from your Photo Library or import from Files. You can also select images in the Photos app and share them straight into Real Image Compressor using the Share Sheet. No extra steps needed. See real results After compression, you get a clear overview of every image: original size, compressed size, and the percentage saved. In our tests, photos typically shrink by 60-75%. Save anywhere Export your compressed images back to the Camera Roll or save them to any folder using the Files app. Batch export all images at once with a single tap. Privacy first All compression happens on your device. Your photos are never uploaded anywhere. Optionally remove EXIF data to strip location info and other metadata before sharing your photos with others.

Free up space on your iPhone without losing a single photo you care about. Find similar shots and duplicates, shrink big videos, swipe through old months, and review everything before it goes. SELECT, REVIEW, DELETE Every screen works the same way. Tap what you want gone, then Review shows it all together with its size. Nothing is deleted until you confirm there, and iOS keeps it in Recently Deleted for 30 days. SIMILAR PHOTOS AND DUPLICATES • Similar photos: near-identical shots grouped by day, so you keep the best one. Of equally sharp shots, the one with everyone's eyes open is kept • Duplicate photos: keep the highest quality, the newest or the oldest • Choose how strict the look-alike matching is: Strict, Normal or Loose • Burst photos, screenshots, screen recordings, blurry photos and what other apps saved • Filter any list by size and age to find the big, old things first SHRINK VIDEOS AND PHOTOS Keep the moment and get the space back. Bytesweep makes a smaller copy of a large video (HEVC, same resolution or down to 1080p) or a large photo (Smaller, Balanced or Sharper), checks it, and puts the original in Review for you to delete. Shrunk items say how much they saved, for example 52 MB to 32 MB. Shrink one, or shrink the whole list. Keep a Live Photo as a still, with its date and place. SWIPE REVIEW Pick a month and go through it one photo or video at a time. Swipe left to let it go, right to keep it, and undo any decision. Favorites and protected albums are left out. Ask Siri: "Start Swipe Review in Bytesweep". FIND AND SORT • Ask Your Photos: find a photo by describing it, read on this iPhone • Photo Intelligence: receipts, documents, food, pets and more, grouped. Turn document photos into one searchable PDF • Library by album, Places on a map, and a Selfies grid • Privacy scan: see which photos carry a location or device details, and share copies without them PRIVATE VAULT Hide photos and videos in an encrypted vault on this iPhone, opened with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Each item is sealed and checked before its original goes. The vault stays on this iPhone and is not in backups; the app says so before anything goes in. CONTACTS, CALENDAR AND REMINDERS Merge contacts saved twice, clear entries with no name or way to reach anyone, and remove old events, duplicate events and finished reminders. Nothing changes until you confirm. Calendars and reminders have no Recently Deleted, so removing there is permanent. STORAGE AT A GLANCE A storage ring on Home, a growth chart, reports you can export, a cleanup history, Home and Lock Screen widgets, a Control Center button and 10 Siri and Shortcuts actions. Also: a QR and barcode scanner, a document scanner and text recognition. Works on iPhone Duo. THE HONEST PART If your photos are optimized for iCloud, a 12 MB photo might take 200 KB on this iPhone. Deleting it frees 200 KB here and removes it from every device. Bytesweep shows you this before you delete. No app on iOS can clear other apps' caches, "System Data" or what Messages and Safari store. Bytesweep shows where that space is. PRICE Scanning, browsing, selecting and swiping are always free. Every feature works free within your first 1 GB and 30 items, whichever comes first: deleting, shrinking, the vault, and cleaning contacts, calendars and reminders. After that, one purchase removes the cap: Bytesweep Pro. Pay once. No subscription, no renewal. Restore it on any iPhone signed in to the same Apple Account. SEND TO YOUR DEVICES Send photos, videos, files and notes to your Mac or PC with Bytesweep, on the same Wi-Fi. The other device asks before anything is saved. 10 sends are free. PRIVACY Everything happens on your iPhone. No account, no analytics and no server. The only connection the app makes is Send to Devices, straight to your own devices on your Wi-Fi, encrypted. Nothing leaves the device unless you send, share or export it.
