Build a Compress Photo Shortcut for iPhone

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.

How this photo compression shortcut works

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.
