About this app

Too big to email. Rejected by the upload form.
ByteDiet fits your photos and videos under a size you choose.

■ Just pick the number

Choose the situation — "Gmail attachment", "Upload limit 2MB" — and that is it.
ByteDiet works out the rest and gives you the best-looking result that still fits.

There is no "set quality to 70%" here. The target size is fixed instead,
and the quality and resolution are searched automatically.

■ Email limits are combined, and files grow in transit

An email limit applies to all your attachments together, not to each file.
On top of that, attachments are encoded in base64 when sent, which makes
them roughly 1.3x larger.

So a 25MB file for a "25MB limit" still will not send. ByteDiet works backwards
from that, and shares the budget when you pick several files.

■ Limits you can pick

· Workspace 50MB (Enterprise Plus)
· Gmail / Yahoo 25MB
· Outlook / iCloud 20MB
· Email up to 10MB
· Upload limits: 5MB / 2MB / 1MB / 500KB / 300KB
· Or type your own number

■ Everything stays on your device

Your photos and videos are never uploaded anywhere.
All processing finishes on your own device, and it works offline.

■ Back into your photo library

Shrunk files are saved to Photos, keeping their original capture date
so your library stays in order. From there, send them the way you always do.
