Is your photo library filling up? GramCamera shoots the same way your stock camera does, but saves smaller files. It reduces file size without a visible drop in quality, so the same storage holds far more. ■ You choose how much to save Pick one of four levels: Saver, Standard, Max or Original. Saver cuts size sharply against the stock camera, Standard matches the stock camera's quality and size, Max leaves extra headroom for editing and archiving, and Original means this app does not shrink the file at all. Levels apply to photos and video separately, and Fine Tuning lets you set the target size for each resolution yourself. ■ Saved straight to the Photos app There is no separate library. Your photos and videos go into the built-in Photos app exactly as usual, and every other app can use them as always. ■ It shows you what you saved Open a capture in the in-app album and you can see how much smaller it is compared with the stock camera. ■ A real camera, not a toy · Photo · Video · Slow motion · Time-lapse · 4K 60 fps, HDR video, Spatial Audio recording · Ultra wide · Wide · Telephoto switching and macro · White balance lock, exposure compensation, grid, timer · Simultaneous front and back capture · iPad support ■ Free GramCamera is free to use. In return, a small ad appears at the bottom of the screen. It steps aside for a moment when you press the shutter, so it never gets in the way of a shot. Your captures stay on your device and in your photo library. GramCamera does not collect them or send them anywhere.
