iPhone photos are beautiful but enormous — a single shot can be 5-8MB, too large to email, upload to most web forms, or share quickly over a slow connection. A compress photo shortcut for iPhone reduces any image to a fraction of its original size in one tap, right from your share sheet. No editing app, no export juggling, no quality guessing.
Share any photo to the shortcut from Photos, Safari, or any other source. Choose your desired output — web-ready, email-friendly, or a specific pixel width — and the shortcut creates a compressed copy and saves it to your photo library or copies it to the clipboard. Your original high-resolution image is never modified.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Compress a shared photo to under 1MB and save the copy').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the photo compression shortcut.
Tap the 'Install' button to add it directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
Shrink a 6MB photo to under 500KB in seconds without touching an editing app.
The shortcut saves a new compressed copy — your original full-resolution photo is preserved.
Trigger it from Photos, Messages, Safari, Files, or any app that can share an image.
