Compress: Photos & Videos
Photo & Video File Size Compressor
Screenshots
Compress: Photos & Videos shrinks your photos and videos to a maximum file size you choose, such as 1 MB for an upload limit or 10 MB for an email attachment. Pick the target, and the app finds the best quality that fits under it. Everything runs 100% on device.
Most compressors give you a quality slider and leave you guessing. This one works backwards from the number you actually need. Every attempt is measured against the real encoded file, never estimated, so when it says the result is under your target, it is. If compressing would make a file larger than the original, it hands back the original and tells you.
"Name the size. Get a file that fits."

100% On-Device Privacy
Your photos and videos never leave your device. There are no uploads, no cloud, and no account. The app contains no analytics, no telemetry, and no tracking SDKs of any kind. It works completely offline, and the only network use anywhere in the app is the App Store purchase itself.
Free and Pro
Free covers the whole promise for one file at a time: any target size including a custom one, saved anywhere you like, with your metadata and resolution untouched. Pro is a one-time purchase that adds batch compression, More Options (smallest possible, resolution limits, metadata handling and output format), Replace Original, and editable size presets. There is no subscription and nothing renews.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work offline? ▼
Yes. All compression happens on your device and no internet connection is needed.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere? ▼
No. Your photos and videos never leave your device. There is no server involved at any step.
Can I compress a photo to exactly 1 MB? ▼
You set 1 MB as the maximum and the app returns the best quality file that fits under it. The real encoded size is measured on every attempt, so the target is never a guess.
Does it compress videos too? ▼
Yes. Videos are compressed to your target size, stepping down the resolution only if it is the only way to fit.
What if the file is already small? ▼
It never returns a file larger than the original. If compressing would grow it, you get the original back and the app says so.
Will it strip my photo metadata? ▼
Not unless you ask it to. Metadata and resolution are left untouched by default, and changing that is an option in Pro.
Is Pro a subscription? ▼
No. Pro is a single one-time purchase. There is no renewal and no recurring charge.
Do I need an account? ▼
No. There is no sign up and no login. Open the app and start compressing.
