Photo Compression FAQ
Does compression delete the original automatically?
No. Compression creates a processed copy so you can review it before deciding whether to remove the original.
Why does LessPhoto use HEIC?
HEIC is the high-efficiency image format used by the iPhone camera. It can store a clear photo in less space than older formats such as JPEG.
Will HEIC compression reduce quality?
Reducing file size involves a quality tradeoff. LessPhoto prioritizes clarity, shows the estimated savings, and lets you review the result before removing the original.
Are photos uploaded for compression?
No. LessPhoto processes photos on your iPhone.
