Build an Image Resize Shortcut for iPhone

iPhone photos are enormous — often 4-6MB each — which makes them too large to attach to emails, upload to certain forms, or share quickly over slow connections. An image resize shortcut for iPhone lets you compress or resize any photo to a specific dimension or file size in seconds, directly from your share sheet. No editing app, no export dance, no waiting.

How this image resize shortcut works

Share a photo from your Photos app or any other source to the shortcut. It asks for your desired output size — either a maximum dimension in pixels or a preset like 'web-ready' or 'email-friendly' — and produces a resized copy saved back to your Photos library or clipboard. The original is never modified.
