What is DropSize?
A Simple Way to Make Photos & Videos Smaller
DropSize is a premium, privacy-first photo and video compression app for iPhone and iPad. It lets you choose a target file size in KB or MB and compress your media toward that target with minimal visual quality loss.
DropSize is useful when a website, email service, messaging platform, or online form has a strict upload limit. Instead of guessing compression settings, you specify the size you need and DropSize does the hard work on your device.
The app also supports batch compression, iOS Share Sheet integration, EXIF/GPS metadata stripping, local compression history, storage-savings analytics, and Home Screen widgets.
