iPhone Storage Full? Clear 5GB of Space Without Deleting a Single Photo
By Image Size Compress Team•
The 'Storage Full' notification is the most annoying thing on an iPhone. Apple wants you to buy more iCloud storage. Don't do it. There is a smarter way to free up space without deleting your precious vacation photos.
The 4MB vs 400KB Reality
Your iPhone takes photos at insanely high resolutions suitable for billboards. You don't need that quality for Instagram or keeping memories. A single photo is often 4MB to 8MB. By compressing it to 400KB, it looks exactly the same on your screen but takes up 10x less space.
The Backup & Shrink Method
- 1. Transfer your massive photos to your computer.
- 2. Drag them into our **Bulk Image Compressor** (up to 20 at a time).
- 3. Compress them by 80%.
- 4. Delete the originals and put the compressed versions back.
If you have 1,000 photos, this process can free up over 3GB to 5GB of space instantly. Keep your photos, just ditch the wasted data.
