Everything else you might want to know before your first export.
How do I reduce photo file size on iPhone?
Choose your photos in Shrink, set a maximum size, then tap Compress. Review the result and save or share the smaller copy.
Learn More ↗
Can I compress a photo to 200 KB or 500 KB?
Yes. Both sizes are built-in presets. Each sets a maximum per photo; the final file can be smaller. Check any separate format or dimension requirements before uploading.
Learn More ↗
How do I make a photo smaller than 1 MB?
Select the 1 MB preset and compress. For a different limit, use 2 MB or Custom Size. A strict upload boundary may need a little margin below the stated limit.
Learn More ↗
Can I compress several photos at once?
Yes, up to 20 photos per batch. Your chosen maximum applies to every photo individually, so the combined batch can exceed that size.
Learn More ↗
Will compression affect image quality?
It can. Shrink adjusts quality and, when needed, dimensions to fit your limit. Use the largest permitted target and review important detail. Photos already below the target are left unchanged.
Learn More ↗
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Photo compression happens on your iPhone. Locally available photos can be compressed offline. Purchases and restoring access may require a connection.
Learn More ↗
Why is my photo still rejected after compression?
The form may also require a particular format, dimensions, or a combined size limit. Confirm you selected the exported copy, then check the full upload requirements.
