Why PhotoSlim

It makes photos smaller. Nothing else gets in the way

The right size to send or upload a photo, in the fewest steps.

Fully offline

Every photo is compressed on your device and never uploaded. It works in airplane mode too.

No ads

Not even in the free version. There is no analytics or advertising SDK in the app.

Pro, paid once

PhotoSlim Pro is a single payment of ¥1,480 in Japan. It is not a subscription.

How it works

Pick the photos, pick a size, compress

Open it and go: no tour of welcome screens, no sign-in.

  1. Select photos

    As many as you like — from Photos, from Files, or straight from another app's Share menu.

  2. Choose a size or a purpose

    Pick 500KB, 1MB or 2MB, or a purpose such as Email or Web form.

  3. Compress, save and share

    Save to Photos or Files, or share right away. Check the before and after first if you like.

Your originals are never changed. Compressed photos are saved as new copies.

Exact size

Always under the size you pick

PhotoSlim keeps the resolution first and adjusts the quality, and only shrinks the photo when it has to. As sharp as possible, and always under your target.

  • Under 500KB, 1MB or 2MBThe three sizes people need most, one tap each. The last one you used is already selected.
  • 50KB, 100KB, 200KB, 5MB — or any sizeProFrom a small ID photo to a large document scan. Type any value in KB or MB.
  • Photos that already fit stay as they areA photo already under the target can be saved without losing any quality.
  • Check the before and afterA slider against the original, 100% and 200% zoom, and size, dimensions and format side by side.

Choose by purpose

Say what it's for, and PhotoSlim picks the settings

Pick a purpose and the right settings are chosen for you. Every purpose removes the location.

  • EmailUnder 1MB · JPEGSmall enough to get past attachment limits.
  • Web formUnder 500KB · JPEGFor online applications and upload forms.
  • RésuméUnder 500KB · made for documentsFor the photo on a résumé or an application.
  • ID photoID photos · JPEGFor uploading ID photos (under 200KB with Pro).
  • MarketplaceUnder 1MB · JPEGFor listing photos on marketplace and auction apps.
  • Social & messagesLighter photos to sendLong edge 1920px, location and camera info removed.

In the free version, purposes use the free sizes (500KB, 1MB, 2MB).

Resize and convert

Change the size and the format — only as much as you need

Resized with the aspect ratio kept, and never enlarged. iPhone HEIC, PNG and WebP all convert to JPEG in one go.

  • Resize to 25%, 50% or 75%The aspect ratio is kept, and a photo is never made larger than the original.
  • Width × height, long or short edge in pixelsProMatch a requirement such as “long edge 2000px” exactly.
  • HEIC, PNG and WebP to JPEGSaved as JPEG, which opens everywhere. Transparent PNGs get a white background.

  • Privacy checkSee whether a photo contains location, capture date or camera info before you send it.
  • Remove camera info and other EXIFCamera model, lens and the rest. To keep all EXIF, choose group by group with Pro.
  • Checked and removed on your devicePhotoSlim doesn't even go online to turn coordinates into an address.

PhotoSlim Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: nothing renews and you are never charged again. Use “Restore purchase” to unlock it on other devices with the same Apple ID or Google account. Apple or Google handles the payment; we never receive your payment details.

The price is the Japanese App Store price including tax. Prices vary by country and region; the app's purchase screen shows yours.

Worth knowing first

  • Very small targets cost qualityWhen size had to win, the result screen says the quality was reduced. Check it in the comparison before you save.
  • If a target can't be reached, you're toldSome photos can't get as small as you asked. You can then try another size or save the photo as it is.
  • PNG gets smaller by resolution, not qualityPNG is lossless, so with a size target PhotoSlim reduces the dimensions to fit.
  • Deleting originals needs Android 11 or laterOn Android 10 and older, “Delete originals” isn't shown. On iPhone the system asks you to confirm first.

FAQ

Questions

Does it really work offline? Are my photos uploaded?

Yes, it works offline, and no, nothing is uploaded. Compressing, resizing, converting and removing location all happen on your device. PhotoSlim has no server and no accounts. The app only goes online to buy Pro or restore a purchase.

Is it a subscription?

No. PhotoSlim Pro is a one-time purchase (¥1,480 including tax in Japan). Nothing renews and you are never charged again. The free version has no time limit and no ads.

Which formats does it support?

It reads JPEG, HEIC (HEIF), PNG and WebP photos. The free version saves JPEG; Pro can also save PNG, WebP and HEIC. Formats your device can't write aren't offered.

Does it keep the capture date?

Yes. By default the capture date stays, and location (GPS), camera info and other EXIF are removed. You can change what stays in Settings or on the Privacy check screen.

What if my photo can't get that small?

PhotoSlim tells you the target couldn't be reached and lets you try another size or save the photo as it is. Photos already under the target can be saved without losing quality.

What happens to my original photos?

Nothing — they are never changed. Compressed photos are saved as new copies: in a “PhotoSlim” album on iPhone, in Pictures/PhotoSlim on Android. Use “Delete originals” only if you want to remove them; the system asks you to confirm.

What's free?

Compressing under 500KB, 1MB or 2MB, resizing to 25–75%, saving as JPEG, removing location and EXIF, choosing by purpose, before / after, save and share, the share extension and history. The free version compresses up to 5 photos at a time.

I got a new phone. What about Pro?

Install the app with the same Apple ID or Google account and tap “Restore purchase” in Settings. You won't pay again.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone and iPad with iOS 15 or later, and Android phones and tablets with Android 7.1 or later. The app is in Japanese, English and Vietnamese.
