How would I go about compressing the file size in terms of Mbs used I look through my file manager and into dcim folder and look at all the pics I took and they go from 810kbs to 3mbs. And want to if there is a way to just have a app or something that I can do from the phone to compress the file that it does not take much "mbs" I think total I have about 200 mbs give or take of just pics and I do back up my pics. And same for video (i have about 20mbs give or take) I know about the settings in the camera and video to change the resolutions but I dont want to lose resolutions but not take up so much space. If any of this makes sense lol sorry if it does not lol.
If you crop an image it greatly compressed it. I don't know if any app to do this on multiple images.

There are free apps to shrink pics in the market.
I use Image Shrink Lite, but I've also used Reduce Photo Size. Both work well, both integrate into the gallery so when you get ready to send a pic, it gives you the option to first send the pic to the app to shrink its size (you pick the final resolution). Both preserve the original file, and save a copy
Image Shrink Lite works first time, every time. Reduce Photo Size didn't always seem to work, so ISL is now my go-to app.
Don't know about video.

Just what the subject asks, is there any Android graphic editor that can do that ?
I found some that can save as png. Some that handle full res images. And some that allow cropping with ratios (4:3, 3:2, 16:9...). And some with a combination of two of those things.
Anything that does all three ? I sure can't find it.
Very simple operation, crop a full resolution photo with a given ratio, save ( full res ) as png. That's it.

Have you Tried Adobe photoshop Express, Or Picsay Pro?

Yes, Photoshop Express does not even open full resolution images ( and I only have a 5 MP camera, there are phones with even bigger images ) and does not offer an option to convert to png anyway. It's been mentioned before, but it's probably one of the worst graphic editors on Android.
PicSay Pro is actually my favourite but it doesn't do this either. It reduces the size when saving, so it's never full resolution.
Edit : Nexus One, rooted, unlocked, latest CyanogenMod Nightly -- If that's any help or it has any bugs that prevent me from seeing those functions in an editor, but I doubt it.
I'm pretty sure that Canvas from the Notionink tablet did this. I can't be positive, but I CAN give you a rip of the apk.
Hope it helps.

Thank you very much ! I gave it a try.
I can only see the typical square/rectangle to crop that I can resize and move however I feel like but no way to set a fixed ratio...
I must be missing something, it seems to me that this operation should be possible with a lot of apps, it's so simple.
I know there's a way to do it by pixel size in that app. Maybe you have to do the ratio by hand. As long as you know the original pixel size, it shouldnt be too tough. Perhaps take a look in the notion ink forum for more information. Good luck.

There are several image editing programs - and some free good ones - but need an app that can do some specific tasks on the Asus Transformer TF
Besides basic tweaks (crop, sharpening, brightness), need the ability to add arrows and arrowheads (in different colors) pointing to specific areas, and adding text to the corresponding colors.
Being able to organize several photos in frames (such as the program PicFrame) would be a bonus.
Know any paid programs that can do this? Help greatly appreciated!
Skitch from Evernote will do it - free and basic. I use snapseed for editing and skitch for placing annotations like arrows/markers
Before I got photoshop touch (which is excellent, btw), I used Picsart. I recommend checking it out, it's free.
I use pixlr express. Super easy to use and highly affective. Plus you can save as any file size.

Are you editing high resolution photos from a camera like a dslr? I tested it on a shot from the tablet camera and the actual size of the photo (in Mb) was actually almost doubled. And I didn't notice any decrease in quality. It does ask you what size to save it as, right?

Nope I am talking about 8mp images from my camera or any other normal wallpaper image.... As soon as i import it..... Resolution of that image gets low... Pixels gets distort.

If we are talking about this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixlr.express
Then I'm not sure really... Let me know if us find anything better
Hi there, I have been using Nexus 5 for the last couple of months, and even though I select 8mp on the camara setting, all pictures are taken at different size. Sometimes they are 2.1mb, sometimes 3, 4 or even 5 mb. And for the front facing camera they are normally 300kb to 450 kb.
I just want to understand why the difference in each picture, if it is a setting I can adjust, an issue or what is happening... I would like to take all pictures at best quality.
Thanks!
The reason is compression.
The best quality would be in raw format but each photo would be hundreds of MBs.
To combat this photos are compressed.
The reason your photos are different sizes is purely related to how well the image you have taken can compress.
Say for instance you took a picture of a solid red square. This would compress very well because there is relatively little info needed to recreate it.
Color=red in pixels 1,1 to 8096,8096 (I know this is impossible to have a perfect picture that only picks up the single colour but it's just an example)
Compare this say with a picture of multicolored sand that has many shades.
This would not compress as well because there is a lot of data that is needed to create the image.
Color=redshade1 in pixels 1,1 677,465 7357,3633 etc...
Color=blueshade1 in pixels 1,2 3757,995 357,3376 etc...
Etc...
Now I know this isn't exactly how photo compression works but it's just trying to show how even though you are capturing the image at the same resolution, the resulting file size can vary drastically.

Yep. Even without compression, all RAW images are not the same size. The more complex the image, the bigger it will be

Didn't see any options or settings in camera app for smaller file size or compression? I want to take photos for work and have to email multiple ones in 1 email. When i take photos they are like 2.8-3mb each! Need them to be more like 1mb each in size if possible?
I know in stock messaging app if you attach a photo you took with device camera it automatically makes the photo smaller in size so it will send via mms but no feature for email?
Camera settings>crop. Choose one of the smaller sizes before you take the picture.
I am confused about the camera, if you look at the picture bellow that I have attached you can see different sizing of images. So for example if I change from 12m to 7m would that decrease quality... Are these m basically for the aspect ratio for example if my TV has 16.9 ration and I take the image at 4.3 ratio does that mean that the 3.7 m would fit on the screen but the 12m wouldn't feet the whole screen... Hopefully you get what I am talking about....
Does the quality get reduced if I use different m's I know that it still says the same pixels for quality.
Does the m mean megapixels?
Sorry this might be a noobish question but I want to find out...
Some of them are the aspect ratio, and some are the amount of compression (visual quality). So there are two 4:3 options in the list, one is going to be cleaner than the other.
The "m" represents the Megapixel i do believe which means yes, as you go down you are effectively lowering the resolution of the images. The aspect ratio is listed to the left and thats pretty much the standards. So yes, 16:9 would fill a standard wide screen and 4:3 would be the old conventional more square aspect ratio.
Hello
Yes the M means Megapixels, here is an example:
"The definition is characterized by the total number of pixels in the image, defined by the number of pixels over the image height multiplied by the number of pixels over the image width." This value is therefore absolute. An image of 2000 pixels by 3000 (6 Mpx because 2000x3000 = 6 000 000) will always have the same number of pixels, whatever size it is given next. A digital camera with a resolution of 10 Mpx (about 3888x2592 pixels) can simply offer a larger size with equal resolution.
So if you change the size of the image there will be fewer pixels and I think it affects the final rendering.
When i open camera & click on Gallery it also shows the WhatsApp videos and pics
I want to set it to only see the Camera pics i click
anyone knows how ?
Please
Always shoot in the highest mega pixels. All the lower ones do is crop the data from the largest setting and throw away the extra picture data before saving. If you save the largest mega pixel setting you can manually crop to all the others afterward if you like. But if you set it to a smaller setting the extra data is never saved.

Try putting a file named exactly ".nomedia" (without quotes, even of 0 bytes it's ok) in the Whatsapp root folder.
If you look into your sdcard folders you can find such a file somewhere, so you can copy and paste it.
Otherwise you could create this file on your PC and then copy to the Whatsapp folder.
Then reboot the phone.

Where in the WhatsApp folder do i put this Folder - .nomedia
In WhatsApp folder there are 2 Folders
1) Databases
2) Media
I put in WhatsApp Folder
It did not work & I do not even see the Folder i created
I HOPE THIS WILL NOT MESS UP MY PHONE Please
Anyway, .nomedia is a file, not a folder!
The folder to put this file is sdcard/Whatsapp.
After adding this file, have you rebooted the phone?
You probably should also have to refresh the gallery database to purge the image caching:
go to Settings, Apps, Show system apps, find Media storage, open it, select the storage memory option and clear the data. Reboot the phone.

I made a Folder & naming it .nomedia, i put it in WhatsApp Folder
After that what i did was Delete all Pics & Videos in WhatsApp folder
Now what has happened is,
I do not see any Folder of WhatsApp Pics/Videos when i go in the Gallery,
which is a Good thing :laugh: (rest Folder are there)
So now when i click the Album in Camera
i only see Pics i click with my camera & the Screenshots if i make any
So Thanks Bro somehow it worked for what i wanted
any suggestions do let me know
Can you upload the .nomedia file you were talking about
There are plenty of apps that let you select a directory and the app will add the .nomedia file for you.. just search nomedia in the play store.

The only way to upload on the forum this unusual file is to put it into a zip file.
