Help & Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Q: How much can I compress my photos? A: Compression results vary based on the original photo, but most users see 50-90% file size reduction while maintaining excellent visual quality.
Q: Will my photos look blurry after compression? A: No! Our intelligent algorithms preserve visual quality. At recommended settings (70-85% quality), compression artifacts are virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Q: Does compression affect the original photo? A: No. Photo Compressor Max creates a new compressed copy – your original photo remains untouched in your library.
Q: What's the maximum number of photos I can compress at once? A: Premium users can batch compress up to 50 photos simultaneously.
Technical Questions
Q: Which image formats are supported? A: We support JPEG, PNG, HEIC (Apple's High Efficiency format), and WebP. You can also convert between these formats during compression.
Q: What's the difference between HEIC and JPEG? A: HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's modern format that offers better compression than JPEG at similar quality. However, JPEG is more universally compatible with all devices and websites.
Q: Why is WebP format useful? A: WebP offers excellent compression with great quality and is ideal for web usage. It's supported by all modern browsers and many apps.
Q: Can I preserve photo metadata (EXIF)? A: Yes! You can choose to keep or remove EXIF data (date taken, location, camera info) during compression.

Troubleshooting
Q: The app can't access my photos. What should I do? A: Go to iPhone Settings → scroll to Photo Compressor Max → Photos → select "Full Access" to grant permission.
Q: Compression seems slower than usual. Why? A: Processing speed depends on photo size and your device. Very large photos (20+ MP) may take slightly longer. Ensure no other heavy apps are running.
Q: My compressed photo looks different on other devices. A: If you export as HEIC, some older devices or Windows PCs may not display it correctly. Use JPEG or PNG for maximum compatibility.
Q: The app crashed during compression. What happened? A: This is rare but can occur with extremely large photos or low device memory. Restart the app and try with fewer photos. If the issue persists, contact support.
