Less weight. Clearer steps.

A smaller file.
A clear process.

A photo library should hold memories, not hold you back. PichaLite handles the working copies and checks the smaller result before replacing a local original.

Already-small originals can be retained. Google Photos imports keep their cloud originals.

01

Bring the batch.

Choose local photos or import with the Google Photos picker. Imports can continue while completed arrivals compress.

02

Save first. Verify next.

Compression runs on your phone. Smaller local copies are saved and checked before originals are replaced, with Android’s approval where required.

03

Keep moving.

Pause and resume your saved queue. Browse finished photos, open full previews, and share the results when you’re ready.

Compress photos locally, even offline.

Compatibility, privacy & installation +

This preview supports 64-bit ARM Android devices running Android 8.0 or later. Allow installation from your browser when Android asks. Compression works on-device; the optional cloud picker and external sharing apps use their own connections. Wrapped cards share statistics rather than your photos. Anonymous app usage analytics run automatically. Photos, filenames and paths are never sent to PostHog.
