Recommended iOS image resizer and video compression apps?

PapaBPoppin

I'm kosher with the iOS landscape on the audio production side, but when it comes to the plethora of options of general use apps, it's an endless ocean

I'd prefer free/cheap (if they do a good job), but am not opposed to getting a few good reccs and waiting for a sale

Any input is greatly appreciated! 😁

I use

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/video-compress-shrink-videos/id1163846234

And

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/resize-it-compress-any-image/id1520370235

Both are I think free, first one has adverts but not too disruptive.

I use shortcuts to resize and or compress jpg or png…. Fairly sure video options are there too…
Follow these steps to create a simple shortcut for resizing photos:

Step 1: Open the Shortcuts App

Launch the Shortcuts app from your home screen.

Step 2: Create a New Shortcut

Tap on the "+" icon in the top right corner to create a new shortcut.

Tap on “Add Action”. This will open the actions library.

Step 3: Add the Image Selection Action

In the search bar, type “Select Photos”.
Tap on the “Select Photos” action. A block will appear in your shortcut workspace.
Enable the toggle for “Select Multiple” if you want to resize more than one photo at a time.
Step 4: Resize the Photos

In the action library, search for “Resize Image” and tap on that action to add it to your workflow.

Once added, you will have options to specify the resize dimensions. You can choose to resize by percentage or by fixed dimensions (width and height).

Set your desired dimensions. For example, if you want to create images that are 800px wide, enter "800" in the width box. The height will automatically adjust while maintaining the aspect ratio if you check the "Keep Aspect Ratio" box.

Step 5: Save Resized Photos

Next, search for “Save to Photo Album” in the actions library and add it to your workflow.

This action will prompt you to save the resized images back to your Photos app. You can choose to save it to the same album or create a new one specifically for resized images.

Step 6: Finalize the Shortcut

Tap on the three dots icon at the top right of the shortcut to set a name and icon for your shortcut.

Name it something descriptive like “Resize Photos”.

Optionally, you can add it to your Home Screen for easier access.

Step 7: Done!

Once you’ve set everything up, tap “Done”. Your shortcut is now ready to use.

Dope thank you going to check these out! Many thanks!

(At a quick check, the video compressor has a $2 'remove ads' which fits into that free/cheap category quite well)

Ok, that's dope as hell

Ill be checking that out too (I love using internal logistics to accomplish a separate app's tasks... Big part of my fascination with Drambo)

Thanks!

No problem!
I love the shortcuts…
Some are super handy for batch processing images for website etc., or like the oblique strategies one here
There are a couple like this.
Sorry for temporarily derailed thread…
