About

Fyorn

Read full description

Make large files easier to send, share, or upload. Fyorn helps reduce the size of photos, videos, audio files, and PDFs in one iPhone app. Choose files in Photos or Files, or send them to Fyorn from the iOS share sheet. See the original size and the estimated size of the new copy, then pick a built-in preset or adjust the settings yourself. Optimize one file or a whole batch. Fyorn creates a new copy and leaves the original unchanged. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Work with photos, videos, audio files, and PDFs in one app • See an estimated output size before you start • Choose a built-in preset or fine-tune your own settings • Optimize several files together • Save results to Photos or Files, or share them with another app • Choose a supported output format, adjust the quality, and keep or remove metadata where available • Use Fyorn without an account, ads, or tracking SUPPORTED FILES JPEG, HEIC/HEIF, PNG, TIFF, and DNG images; MP4, MOV, and M4V video; M4A, MP3, WAV, and AAC audio; and PDFs. Some files may still be incompatible depending on their encoding or codec. TRY IT FREE Save or share up to seven optimized copies for free. A one-time purchase of Full Access removes the limit; there is no subscription. Fyorn processes the selected files on your device and does not upload their contents to a Fyorn-operated server.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PDF Compressor at none against Fyorn's 1. PDF Compressor also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Fyorn's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
