Compress Photos & Pictures Reviews

by Doctor_HooLock

If I upload a photo it will let me pick the compression settings but then it will just sit at 0% and not do anything. Hitting the cancel button doesn’t do anything either. The only way to get back to the last screen is force close CompressPhotosPictures and try again. Tried 3 times in a row and didn’t work at all.

I am trying to download and try your app but it continue to mandate I enter a credit card when I do not want subscriptions to movies, games etc. If we decline the subscription, the system will not allow you to continue without entering a credit card. While your app says its free the system will not allow you to compress a file without a credit card-isn’t that fraud?

I recently shelled out for ad free, but feared CompressPhotosPictures was abandonware since there hadn't been any updates in a long time. So, I was glad to see the privacy update! That's great.

What's not so good: CompressPhotosPictures was already glitchy in occasionally stalling out midway through a multi-file compression, and now it does it a lot more. Fairly unreliable now.

Also, the interface still has all the same silly limitations. You can't control the percent of the reduction precisely, but only in 5% increments. Sometimes that's nice/fine, but sometimes it doesn't give you the size you want. Also, the whole interface is slow and laggy-- buttons appear, but they don't work for several seconds, so you just have to wait and keep retrying.

Finally, although it's a minor annoyance of bad design, the home screen has just one function: to let you tap to start. Yet you must tap on one very tiny button in the middle of the screen (the +), and the whole rest of the screen does nothing.

It minimally does what it says: compresses images and does a decent job. The images look good.

Here are the two things it should fix to be really good:
1. Redesign CompressPhotosPictures to process any number of pictures. I have an iPad Pro 12.9 that has plenty of memory and storage. There should be no reason why it can’t convert 60 pictures without crashing. I suspect it’s a poor design. It should at least offer this option: Rather than process everything in a batch and then commit it, save it as you go and then ask me at the end if i want to delete the originals. I’ve got plenty of space. If you’re failing because you’re running out of memory trying to cache all of this, you should be able to monitor memory and warn the user rather than crash.

2. You’re deleting my EXIF data - there’s no good reason when you’re compressing my files that you should be dumping my metadata. That’s a show-stopper for me. I’ll be seeking a refund for that one.

Tried the pro version of CompressPhotosPictures several times. Also communicated with the developer. The pro version is supposed to allow compression of at least four photos at a time, but it is inconsistent: sometimes only one or two, other times all four.

Not worth the price, and not good for people like me who have hundreds or thousands of photos.

I only gave 4 stars mainly because I’m trying it out to see how it works. And if it benefits me since I have tons of photos for my jewelry business that I don’t want to get rid of for future needs plus the ones of my lit’l girl from birth on up to now that take up lots of space
If it helps tremendously as it appears would, then I’d absolutely give an extra star
However only issue have is they ask for upgrade too quickly and I only buy pro versions after I see if there a need for service so maybe not so much up in your face about these 2 things please. I can bet ppl would be more apt to add on after they get a chance to try it out a bit before being blasted with those things.

I really like the ease of use with CompressPhotosPictures. But something that would be better is if they added the option to see how much bytes my photo is, as I make the changes.

If you ever run into storage limits, CompressPhotosPictures is great on the iPhone for reducing picture size. The free version is great if you only need to do a few photos at a time. You can do up to three. If you want to do more at a time you’ll have to purchase the PRO version. The ads are annoying but harmless. Great app!

by LordTreeT

Pretty quick and easy, i had no idea what i was really doing i just needed to compress images to send them through discord without passing the file limit. I found CompressPhotosPictures and got it done.
It works yo

A.W.E.S.O.M.E 2 minutes in all my photos are decreased in storage. I downloaded CompressPhotosPictures because my storage was full when I had barely any photos,but CompressPhotosPictures worked even when I still don’t know what the problem was. Thanks.

by Jonvieth

I have been ours in the past trying to figure out how to reduce the file size of pictures. This is free and super easy to use! The free version allows you to compress three pictures at a time. In order to compress more than three to time and remove as you need to purchase the pro version. I just have the free version and love it!!

by Ron34556

App works good. I asked a question about a certain function and the developer got back to me right away. Great customer service.

by Heresmylife

Must spend $10 lifetime to get pro version and it’s super fast after that, can do a lot more at one time.

I have been trying to load images of my art onto an online site and could not get past “go” . Naturally I cropped them , but they were still to large of a file. Well , not anymore ! This worked and it was simple.... though I did goof somehow and couldn’t access my albums . My fault , of course. So I emailed support and got a super quick response , today , a Saturday! Whoo hoo !
Ben told me step by step what to do ,,, easy , and I just compressed my first photo. 🤗🤸‍♀️

CompressPhotosPictures does what it is supposed to do, reduce the file size of your photo significantly. However, for my purposes I can’t use it because it doesn’t preserve metadata on the compressed photo. It’s a shame because I really liked the EXIF app from this developer and wanted to get my compression app from the same source. I use photos for insurance claims. The metadata is critical to my work.

by EddieKags

This is becoming one of my favorite apps on my iPad. The compressed images look identical to the original. Crazy how CompressPhotosPictures takes a 17mb file to 989kb - Incredible.

CompressPhotosPictures is a God send. Purchased a Hunter Hydrawise Sprinkler Controller that has a feature to upload images using my iPhone. Unfortunately the size of the image restricts the number of images. CompressPhotosPictures allowed me to upload all my images. The quality of the image met my requirements. I will purchase the paid version in order to eliminate adds. Thanks for a great App.

by Eeewik

This ap works well and is easy to use. Finally can add photos to text and email without bogging everything down. Had a question and emailed them. Very quick and helpful response.

Get this one!

This is one of the best apps to have in your phone, because it compresses your photos and saves you a lot of memory space on your phone. I highly recommend it.

by Cacomyxl

I don’t need it too often, but when I do it’s a life saver. It can be so frustrating when an image is too big to send. If I were doing something where I needed it often I would update to avoid the ads.

by Averycopeland

So I installed CompressPhotosPictures for one reason- to help me post clear pictures of sports cards for sale on a trading card forum. The site only allows attachments to be a certain size, and my iphone pics are apparently way too large. Anyway, the details in the first photo that I shrunk down became very blurry, rendering the new file downright useless. I’m not sure why, but oh well.

by Fabdancr1

My only purpose for CompressPhotosPictures is to reduce image file size due to upload restrictions on the site I’m trying to use it. CompressPhotosPictures lets you adjust in other ways, but I can’t declare the desired output file size. I just have to guess, fail, the repeat until I’ve guessed right.

by Alijah Simon

In the middle of compression which is REALLY confusing when I have to go figure out which photos to delete afterwards.

by TheCatWithClaws

Does the job as described. Super easy to use and compressed images look really good.

by Vince Roof Pics Storm

A great app It helps save space on the iPhone makes the uploading quicker

by Rsm10s

CompressPhotosPictures was very use for my purpose of resizing some photos for a memory album. Thank you.

by T Puffin

Very useful app. It’s great for reducing photo file size before sending them in an email or text. Also saves tons of space on your iPhone.

by Twalker316

Works well, just annoying that you can only do 3 photos at a time without the pro version.

by Pandy7734

CompressPhotosPictures solves the issue I was having sending pictures. It’s easy to use.
