Make smaller photo copies

Match the copy to its purpose

For a small attachment, reducing pixel dimensions can matter more than a tiny quality adjustment. For a print or future edit, retain the original resolution and file. Text, gradients and fine textures make good places to inspect compression artifacts.

Try a local browser copy

Our web tool accepts a single JPEG, PNG or WebP within its stated limits. Choose output dimensions, format and quality, then compare the measured file sizes. Processing stays in this browser. It does not scan your library or upload your file.

Use the native app for its library workflow

Smart Cleaner also offers native photo compression. Check the current app controls and review the output before any deletion decision. The browser tool is a separate, limited workflow; it does not imply support for every format the native app accepts.

A downloaded copy is not reclaimed storage

Keeping both versions uses more space than keeping only the original. Saving space requires a separate, deliberate decision about originals after checking quality and backups. Lossy compression changes pixels; do not describe it as universally lossless.
