Learn how to compress photos without using the internet on your iPhone or iPad to make their file sizes smaller so they’re easier to share, upload, and store.
You’ll find plenty of iOS apps for compressing photos on the App Store. But if you want a free application with an intuitive interface, check out Compress Photos & Pictures, developed by iDB.
One of the best things about this app is that it compresses your images locally on your iPhone or iPad without using the internet. You can also take a gander at the Pro version, which removes the ads and lets you compress more than three photos at once.
Compress photos without internet on iPhone and iPad
1) Download and open the iOS Compress Photos & Pictures app. Then, grant it permission to access your photo library, and tap Select Photos to Compress.
2) Select the pictures whose file size you want to reduce and tap Next.
3) Adjust the compression settings for photo quality and photo dimensions (length and width in pixels) as per your preference. You can also use advanced compression settings to select the desired export file format (HEIC, JPG, PNG, or Original) and keep photo metadata and location. Next, tap the Compress button to start the process.
4) When the process completes, you’ll see the size details for your photo before and after compression, along with the savings. The compressed picture is automatically saved to your photo library, and a new album titled Compressed Photos is created. You can then decide whether to delete or keep the original photo. If you select Delete n Original Photos, you’ll be asked to confirm by tapping Delete.
We all love photos!
Pictures of our kids, family, friends, pets, and favorite spots are everywhere on our devices. However, one thing that’s not so great about a photo is its size. A photo’s file size varies based on the format, resolution, dimensions, and other factors.
While you may have plenty of storage space for your pictures, that doesn’t help when it’s time to send or share one.
Sending large photos in emails and text messages can be a burden on the app as well as the recipient receiving them. And there are many sites and social networks that put limits on the size of a photo you can upload.
Therefore, you can compress the image, which will reduce the file size as compared to its actual size, making it easier to send, share on social media platforms, or use in a specific application. Compressing also lets you keep more files on your hard disk or in the cloud.
