Simple, Effective, and Exactly What I Needed
07/01/2025

I was specifically looking for an app that could easily compress photos and allow me to overwrite the original files—without dealing with subscriptions. Compress Photos & Pictures delivered exactly what I was looking for.The one-time purchase is a huge plus, and the ability to compress and directly replace the original photo is exactly what I needed for managing storage. The app is easy to use, straightforward, and does its job well.I do wish there were a few more options to fine-tune or customize the compression level, but even as it is, it meets my needs and will be useful for a long time to come. Overall, I’m very satisfied and happy to have found this app.

Difference in image sizes before compression. Now compressed photos can’t save
11/08/2024

Why is there difference in size of some images in the iPhone photos app and that on the Compress app before you compress? If say an image I want to compress shows 12mb on my iPhone photos app, it would show 3mb on the Compress app. It, as such, deceives and in effect doesn’t help in selecting the right images you’d want to compress. I feel this is very poor on the part of the Compress app. Other apps I checked shows the exact size as that on the iPhone for the same image. Also, if you happen to select 100 images but one of images got deleted from the iPhone photos app before you hit compress, the whole process doesn’t complete because of that one deleted image. Why wouldn’t you allow the 99 pictures to compress successfully instead of having us go through the trouble of going back to look for that one picture to delete?Update: Now, after compressing the app gives feedback that it cannot compress so adjustments has to be made to the photo quality and dimension. Waste of money and time. I strongly DO NOT recommend

Hello. I ran several tests and cannot replicate the issue you are mentioning where file size in the Photos app doesn't match file size in the Compress Photos app. I'd be happy to help if you can email me with more details. Thank you

Worked Perfectly

I was looking for quick way to process groups of photos on my iPhone 12 plus. This worked very well with paid subscription, 4 bucks for a year. I just did 14 images (3mb) reduce to about 80kb. Very quick and the compressed images were automatically saved to “compressed photos” folder. Also I noticed that an individual photo can be compressed directly from the my phones photo section. What is also great is when you select photos to be compressed their sizes are clearly marked. Only one small issue is that you have to guesstimate the sliders, size and resolution percentage. My 3mb photos on 100% res at 20% size render about 80kb. Excellent and simple tool.

One of my must haves. Consistently good and worthwhile

Works as it should. Does what it says. Meets your expectations. Immensely helpful for managing your phones media. Near flawless performance and output for size reduction while maintaining a quality image. Rarely does the occasional glitch or freeze occur on my iPhone 15 or my former 11, even when loading my 100,000 plus item library and regularly compressing 80+ ridiculously oversized images at a time. I’ve had the annual plan coming up on four years and it’s not an application I’d ever consider getting rid of.
