Key features: • One-tap compression with recommended settings. • Compress to target sizes such as 200KB, 500KB, 1MB, 2MB and 5MB. • Batch compress and convert with custom quality, max pixel size and output format. • Reclaim photo library space by finding and processing large images. • JPG, PNG and HEIC workflows. • PNG modes for lossless optimization and lossy compression. • Remove GPS, EXIF and selected PNG metadata. • Save templates and review compression history. ImagePress has no account system, no ads and no analytics SDK. It is useful for forms, receipts, email attachments, messaging, document submission and photo library cleanup. Purchase options Monthly and yearly Pro auto-renew. A non-renewing 7-Day Pass, Lifetime Pro and a 100-image credit pack are also available. Pro provides unlimited local image compression while access is valid. Existing paid-download customers retain permanent, unlimited Pro access. Eligible customers may receive a 3-day free trial on monthly or yearly Pro, once per subscription group. The subscription then renews at the price shown by Apple unless canceled. Manage or cancel in Apple subscription settings. Lifetime Pro does not automatically cancel an existing subscription. Prices and purchase terms are displayed by Apple before payment. Credits are used only without active Pro: 1 credit per image when a usable compressed result is first generated. Failure or cancellation uses no credits; retrying the same successful result or exporting it again, including from history, does not charge again. Credits do not expire. Refunded credit grants are removed; any resulting shortfall is covered by later top-ups first. Credits require iOS 16 or later, a verifiable original App Store purchase identity and iCloud. Restore with the original pair of App Store purchase and iCloud accounts. Credit purchase and usage records sync to your private iCloud database; photos stay on your device. Pro and existing paid-download access do not require iCloud.

VisionCut's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
