What's New
v3.3
Cram now supports writing to the SD card on Lollipop. Both Auto-Delete and Auto-Reduce work with photos on the SD card.
This release also includes these new features:
- Cram will continue to reduce photos in the background, even if you bring a different app to the foreground.
- Tweet the amount of space you have saved and get additional crams for free.
Check out the app one of our devs built for android, you might find it useful. I use it on auto to shrink my jpegs @ the quality setting. No issues here.
The tech is based on our DCT optimization algorithms. We do not mess with file dimensions or introduce additional loss during the optimization, it takes place inside DCT compressed space. Very unique! It will compare favorably to WebP, MozJpeg etc, but it is available on android
Thanks!

Short on storage space? Use Cram, an image compressor app, to shrink pictures on your Android device by 60% or more—without compromising the actual display/print dimensions, resolution, or beauty of your photo files.
Want to send more pictures at once? Shrink pictures with the image compressor app. When you compress your photo files with Cram, you can attach more images to an email without getting blocked by size limits or slowing down send times.
Just launch the Cram image compressor and select an individual JPEG photo or a whole album of JPEG photos. Using the auto-delete setting, Cram compresses your photos and replaces the original images in the native gallery. Cram also gives you the option to delete the original file manually after each individual compression. The compressed image only takes up one-third of the space previously occupied by the oversized image.
Turn on auto-reduce and realize the benefits of Cram with no effort at all. With auto-reduce enabled, pictures you take with your camera will be automatically reduced in the background. Since only the reduced pictures will be saved, you will immediately start saving space.
Using Cram as your chosen image compressor, you can:
- Store up to 3 times as many photos on your device and cloud services
- Transfer and share photos up to 3 times faster
- Save on data rates when sharing photos on the go
- Share reduced photos via email, social media, or other Apps directly from Cram
- Drop compressed images on a site or blog without slowing the load time for visitors
Try Cram now and compress 300 photos free over the lifetime of the app. An in-app purchase of $1.99 removes the 300 photo limitation.

I'm going to be doing some international travel into locations with very limited bandwidth. I'd like to be able to regularly upload videos to youtube and some photos but still take photos/videos. My problem is that I really need to downsample the video and reduce the photo sizes to upload them where I will be at. Are there any good apps that make it easy to simply downsample a video for youtube upload and (probably another app) to reduce pixel size of photos in bulk ahead of time or during upload?
I don't really ever think about this here since I have about 5Mb upload at home I can just upload to my hearts content. Once that drops to about 128k though that really changes things. I know how to easily do it all on my laptop but really want to just travel with my tablet if possible.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
FYI in case anyone else is ever looking for these kinds of solutions.
Images can be done with Image Shrink. Install app the go to gallery, and select image(s) and share to image shrink. The app will shrink as configured and then share to another image app.

Video is best done with Video Converter Android. Install app then codec as indicated in app. Videos can be selected in app and then batch converted and downsized as configured.

Both apps have lite versions but I bought both to support devs and get rid of ads.

v2 -
ThinPic for Android, v2.0, is now available on Google Play.
This release adds:
• a Delete button to delete the original images after reduction
• the ability to run ThinPic directly from the Gallery
Take a look and let us know what you think.
www.thinpic.com or go directly to Google Play on your Android device
Also, test drive the new JPEG Wizard release at www.jpegwizard.com
I have tried several apps but they either don't recognise the phone's camera app's DNG format or they are simply useless for other reasons e.g. always writing the output to some directory (folder) in the device filespace which one then has to move them out of.
I need something which can convert them from the SD card
e.g. 0000-0000/DCIM/Camera
to the same place.
The S7 is rooted, with SDfix etc.
I would appreciate any tips. Basically I would like an app which works with the Samsung DNG format and which has configurable in and out folders.
Android v6, not v7, rooted.
If you have RAW enabled in camera settings, the phone also stores a JPEG of the exact same photo, so no need to convert them really
Not sure about Android apps, but on PC just load them into your favourite RAW photo editor and export them as JPEGs (Lightroom for example)
Not quite... taking the DNG and processing it with say Lightroom produces a vastly better quality photo.
See e.g. here for examples
https://www.euroga.org/forums/websi...anywhere-as-good-as-a-dslr/post/166993#166993
The Jpegs from the phone are over-contrasty and over-sharpened. One should never apply unsharp mask until the image is resized to the final resolution (if at all).
Yes I know that, which is why I suggestion Lightroom
Converting on the phone is not going to give anywhere near the same results as PC Lightroom
Use a PC

The real issue IMHO is that all the camera apps are mostly just control panels for the camera API. They don't AIUI get the image to play with. That is why e.g. all of them have the same contrast steps, same exposure range, etc. The JPG is done by the OS and the app gets what it gets. One camera app developer explained this to me.
Is "Unlimited photo/video in Original quality" valid for all devices and media?
In the Backup portion of the Google Photos app it states "Photos and videos uploaded from your PIxel before 2021-01-16 get unlimited free storage at Original quality"
How about photos/video that weren't created on the Pixel 2's hardware? I'm thinking of things like raw .ARW photos or video taken from my Sony RX100. I haven't yet tried it on the phone but the raw .ARW files upload to Google Photos via the Backup and Sync From Google software on Windows so they may as well on android.

Photos and Videos taken with Pixel phones can upload at original quality. I have tried using other phones, but all I got is backup at high quality. I don't see much difference except the file size on Pixel photo/video backup is bigger.
Now, if you use Windows PC and try to upload a photo/video file, then there are 2 choices(High Quality or Original quality), but you need to set it in the Google Photos settings(default I believe is High Quality)
It appears to me that everything backed up by the photos app goes at original quality. I had not previously used the auto backup feature on my nexus, so when I transitioned all my files to the pixel 2 I let it go wild and it uploaded all my transferred files.
But do the Nexus files take up Google account storage space?
I'm trying to take advantage of the store-everything-as-Original option the Pixel 2 offers, so I'm trying to find out if media is evaluated as "Produced By A Pixel 2" so it falls under that.
Are the photos created on your Nexus -- but uploaded from the Pixel 2 -- counting towards your Google storage or are they exempted from storage use by falling under the Pixel 2's "store unlimited Original photos/videos" grace? I know I can do it all under High Quality, but I'd like to do it as Original and take advantage of unlimited storage option I have by using the Pixel 2 .

I think it's any picture files -- video I imagine they might do more detection or you could potentially backup whole seasons and series worth of episodes and movies... -- simply uploaded from the pixel 2/XL falls under the unlimited original quality photos/videos. I purposefully downloaded all pictures taking up space in my Google Drive, as well as the photos I've accumulated over the years, and input it in my phone; had Google Photos (stock app) "back[it]up", and checked to see if any space was being taken up in my Google Drive...and it was not! I've actually "converted" folders and gigabytes of photos taking up physical space on my devices taking advantage of this feature. Once I saw a hint that Google Photos didn't really discriminate what photos was being backed up, I definitely wanted to test and take advantage if it were possible.
Hope this helps...
Hey cool, thanks for sharing that! I'll have to test it more myself (like with raw .ARW images, which aren't something the Pixel 2 would produce) and see if it'll handle those the same way as .jpg images.
Publitio attempts to take the pain out of whole Media Asset Management (MAM) process by easing common tasks used by majority of web & mobile apps, such as media files uploading, storage, processing and delivery, thus saving development time, reducing costs and making a life of developers more easier.
Let see how you can utilize full power of Publitio platform to handle all video & image related needs.
Image & Video Storage
Publitio Dashboard and REST API comes with convenient way for uploading and storage of media files. We support wide range of file types for both images & videos, up to 5GB in size. Every uploaded file is getting stored and backed up on our back-end (built on top of AWS S3 and Azure Blob) so you can rest assure your files will be available when needed.
Image & Video Processing
Media processing includes everything from image & video transformations, manipulations, conversion (transcoding) between formats, up to watermarking, etc. Publitio URL-Based API allows on-the-fly processing of both images & videos, that is so simple to use - you get transformed file just by changing extension or few option parameters in the file url. Check out what image & video transformations are possible or try the demo for yourself.
Image & Video Publishing
Publitio has built-in media player that can empower your videos & images by instantly publishing them on any device. It comes with ads support (VAST & Google IMA ad tags) so you can even monetize you media assets along the way. It works by calling the /file/player API path that returns formatted html code with both player and prepared media for playback. See the Publitio Player in action.
Image & Video Delivery
When it comes to media assets delivery, Publitio infrastructure is built ground-up to scale: it can handle hundreds of millions of requests by design. We partner with Microsoft Azure & Amazon AWS to ensure that your images & videos will be always available, optimized (for both mobile & desktop end-viewers) and delivered at the best speed via our global networks of servers and CDNs.
These are few potential use cases of Publitio Image & Video Management Platform. We have made it pretty easy to connect your back-end with Publitio REST & URL-Based APIs. Our bottom line is this: don’t try to build in-house media assets management solution. Save your time & focus on core of your business. Let us handle your entire image & video workflow.
