Steps
- Get the Photo Compressor app for iPhone & iPad
- Select your HEIC photos in the app
- Pick the desired output size/quality
- Preview and compress the photos with the optimized settings
Tip
For most photos, a quality setting around 80% still looks excellent while cutting size dramatically.
HEIC vs JPEG
HEIC is efficient and works well across Apple devices. Convert to JPEG with optimized settings to reduce file size and maximize compatibility with devices that don’t support the HEIC format. Use the preview to watch for banding in skies and gradients.
Batch workflow
Select many photos at once to optimize a whole album quickly. Review a few samples in the preview before processing the rest with the same settings.
