Photographs are a very important part of our lives nowadays. Whether it is making memories or saving a dress or a decoration you liked for future reference, everything is captured and stored in the form of images/photos. This is the reason why smartphone makers are equipping their devices with top-notch camera setups so that those who are novices in clicking photos also get the best shots possible. Up to 200MP camera sensors are found on devices like Galaxy S23 Ultra. While these cameras make capturing shots easier, the photos taken are not compact or easy to share as they have huge file sizes. Huge file sizes mean that the photos will not only take up more space on your device but also be tough to share on social media and via mail and texts.
To make sharing easier, the best workaround is reducing file size or compressing the image so that it becomes sharable. Although there are 1000s of apps on the Android Play Store that claim to resize and compress images, only a handful of them are good at their job. In this article, we have listed 10 good apps to resize and compress images on Android devices.
Before we dive into the list, let us quickly understand the difference between Image Resizing and image Compressing.
| Image Resizing | Image Compressing |
| Resizing an image means changing the dimensions of the image size like its height, width, and length. Image resizing is done to fit the image in a particular space. | Compressing an image means changing the file size of an image without changing its dimensions. It is done to make the transfer or sharing of files easier as they get reduced in size. |
