About this app

📷 Byte Camera — Capture at Your Exact Target Size

Byte Camera is a smart camera app that captures and compresses
photos to your exact target file size — without sacrificing
more quality than necessary.

🎯 HOW IT WORKS
Choose your target size before shooting. Byte Camera uses an
advanced binary-search compression algorithm to hit your target
as closely as possible — never exceeding it.

📦 TARGET SIZE OPTIONS
- 10 KB — Ultra-small thumbnails
- 20 KB — Minimal attachments
- 50 KB — Compact sharing
- 100 KB — Recommended balance (default)
- 250 KB — High quality sharing
- 500 KB — Near-original quality

✨ SMART QUALITY FEATURES
- Noise Reduction — removes camera grain before compressing
- Auto Sharpening — keeps edges crisp at small file sizes
- Multi-step resize — prevents aliasing and blurry images
- Quality warnings — alerts you before quality loss occurs
- Content detection — auto-adjusts for photos vs illustrations
