Squeezly brings file compression, storage cleanup and practical photo and video editing together on your device. Scan for duplicate and similar photos, blurry shots, screenshots and large videos. Review what to keep before deleting. Cleanup scans and file previews are free. Protect selected files in Vault. Premium unlocks compression, cleanup deletion, bulk actions and unlimited Vault entries. Compress PDFs, photos, videos and archives with quality presets and a size comparison. Compression saves a copy so you can review the result before sharing. Free photo tools: crop with aspect presets, rotate, flip, straighten, and adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and warmth. Save a copy and remove location data; location removal is on by default. Free video tools: trim, rotate, flip, crop to an aspect ratio and mute. Save a copy with location data removed by default. Premium photo tools: blur, pixelate or black out selected regions, with Find faces to help select faces. Fit a photo onto a canvas with a blurred, white or black background. Resize by scale, maximum side or target file size; convert photo formats (JPEG, PNG, HEIC on iOS only); remove all metadata; batch resize, convert or strip metadata; replace an original after saving the edited copy. Premium video tools: fit to send with a target size and resolution, split into timed parts, extract audio as M4A, save a frame as a photo, change speed, add a letterbox canvas and replace an original after saving. Target sizes are best effort; check the actual exported size. Premium tools carry a PRO badge. Saving an edit that uses a Premium tool requires Premium. Basic saves keep high quality; they are not target-size compression. Photo and video edits are processed on your device. No media upload, no Squeezly account and no added watermark.
