To reduce the size of a photo on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:
1. Launch the Settings app: Locate the Settings app on your iPhone’s home screen and tap on it to open it.
2. Scroll down and tap on Camera: In the Settings app, scroll down until you find the section labeled “Camera.” Tap on it to access the camera settings.
3. Tap on Formats: Within the Camera settings, you’ll see various options related to the camera settings. Look for the option labeled “Formats” and tap on it.
4. Choose the High Efficiency format: In the Formats settings, you’ll see two options: High Efficiency and Most Compatible. By default, the Most Compatible option is usually selected. However, if you want to reduce the size of your photos, you should choose the High Efficiency option. Tap on it to select it.
5. Start taking photos: After selecting the High Efficiency format, all subsequent photos you capture using your iPhone’s camera will be saved in HEIC format. HEIC is a more efficient image file format that reduces the file size of photos without compromising much on image quality.
By using the High Efficiency format, your iPhone will automatically compress the file size of the photos you capture, resulting in smaller photo sizes. This can be particularly useful if you have limited storage space on your device or if you frequently share photos through messaging apps or email.
It’s worth noting that some older devices or software versions may not support the HEIC format. In such cases, you can choose the Most Compatible option in the Formats settings, which saves photos in the traditional JPEG format. While JPEG files are larger in size compared to HEIC, they are widely supported across different platforms.
To further reduce the size of photos already saved on your iPhone, you can use various third-party apps available on the App Store. These apps offer additional compression options and allow you to manually adjust the size and quality of your photos before saving or sharing them.
Reducing the photo size on your iPhone can be easily done by selecting the High Efficiency format in the camera settings. This will automatically compress the file size of photos you capture, helping you save storage space and making it easier to share or send photos.
