Low Quality Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
A camera that shoots at deliberately low resolution. Phone cameras get better every year: one photo can take several megabytes, and a minute of video can pass 100 MB. This app does the opposite. It shoots small and rough from the start - for the times you would rather not spend the storage, and for people who simply like the way rough pictures look. ■ Just pick one of five sizes 96x128 / 144x192 / 240x320 / 480x640 / 720x960. They sit right above the viewfinder, so you can switch a second before you shoot. Rough guide per photo / per minute of video: ・96x128 - about 3 KB / 0.9 MB ・144x192 - about 5 KB / 1.5 MB ・240x320 - about 12 KB / 3.0 MB ・480x640 - about 45 KB / 9.0 MB ・720x960 - about 110 KB / 18.8 MB ■ What you see is what gets saved The viewfinder shows the frame already scaled down and already compressed, exactly as it will be stored. Press the shutter and that same image is written to your gallery. Nothing ever turns out rougher or cleaner than it looked. ■ Video at the same size Switch between photo and video and record with the same roughness. Allow the microphone and the sound is recorded; refuse it and the video is simply silent. ■ Four looks Original / Toy camera / Old digicam / Faded. Original is the default, so if you are only here to save space, nothing is added to your pictures. Toy camera boosts the colors and darkens the corners, Old digicam has the cool cast of an early 2000s compact, and Faded looks like a yellowed old print. ■ Straight into your photo library Photos and videos are saved straight to your photo library, ready to attach to an email or a chat. No account, no upload. ■ The shutter sound can be muted Turn it off in the settings. Good for ・Keeping free space on your phone and in the cloud ・Records that only need to exist, not to look good ・Sending something without using much data ・Anyone who likes the feel of rough photos and video ・Shooting like an old phone or an early digital camera This app is for taking pictures, not for shrinking ones you already have: it cannot import existing photos or videos. The frame is a fixed 3:4 portrait, and there is no zoom, flash or timer. The roughness is the soft look of a small image stretched out, not the hard squares of a pixel art filter.
100KB Camera

100KB Camera is a simple camera app that captures and saves each photo as an exactly 100KB JPEG. At 100KB each, 10 photos add up to 1MB, and 10,000 photos add up to 1GB. Before saving, zoom into the actual JPEG to check whether text on receipts or notes is readable. You can also select multiple photos from your library and convert them in one batch. The new photos retain the original capture date and location. After saving, you can choose whether to keep or delete the originals. Features • Capture and save exactly 100KB JPEGs • Choose whether to record the capture location • Preview an approximation of the saved quality while shooting • Tap to focus; pinch or use the button to zoom • Review and zoom into the photo’s actual JPEG before saving, or skip the review screen in Settings • Batch-convert multiple photos • Save to Photos Capturing and converting photos happens on your iPhone. Images are not sent to the developer's server. 100KB Camera Pro is a one-time purchase. It unlocks 50KB and 500KB for both shooting and photo conversion. It is not a subscription. Note: As on iOS, this app writes the unit as “KB”. Here, 100KB means 100,000 bytes; strictly, the symbol is 100kB. The 50KB, 100KB and 500KB sizes refer only to the JPEG file itself, not thumbnails or library management data used by Photos. Terms of Use https://apps.mishimadesign.com/kbcamera/legal.html#terms-en

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Low Quality Camera at none against 100KB Camera's 1. Low Quality Camera also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.2). 100KB Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
