File Compressor: Smart Batch helps you reduce file size for photos, videos, audio and documents in one batch.\nSelect your files, choose a compression level and review the results. See the original size, compressed size and percentage reduced, then save or share the files you need.\n• Compress multiple files\nSelect several files from a thumbnail grid and process them together. Filter by file type, search by name, and sort by largest, newest or name to find where to start.\n• Photo and video compression\nMake supported photos and videos smaller with quality and size controls. Choose a preset or adjust the available image quality, video resolution and codec settings for your device.\n• PDF compression with optional OCR\nCreate a smaller PDF by converting its pages to compressed images and rebuilding the document. Enable OCR to add recognized text for search and copying. This mode keeps the original file; interactive forms, links and digital signatures are not preserved. Results depend on the document and selected quality.\n• Audio and documents\nCompress supported audio to M4A/AAC. Use lossless GZIP compression for documents and other readable files, including text, spreadsheets, logs and backups. GZIP creates individual .gz files that need to be extracted before opening.\n• Understand your storage\nSee total, used and available device storage, with a color breakdown of accessible file types. Find large files and enable low-storage reminders to help you decide what to review next.\n• Review, keep and share\nKeep compressed copies separately, or choose to replace eligible originals after confirmation. View results in a history organized by batch, rename groups, reopen files and share one file or several together.\n• Process files on your device\nCompression and OCR process file contents on your device. A dark interface, compact grids and layouts that adapt to phones and tablets keep your files easy to browse.\nCompression results vary by file, settings and device support. The app keeps a compressed output only when it is smaller than the source. Creating a compressed copy alone does not free device storage while the original remains.\nChoose your files. Compare the results. Share smaller copies.\nTerms of Use:  https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/\nhttps://sites.google.com/view/batchcompres-policy/trang-ch%E1%BB%A7","facts":{"developer_id":1852428157,"developer_url":"https://sites.google.com/view/compressai/trang-ch%E1%BB%A7","first_released":"2025-09-08T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://sites.google.com/view/compressai/trang-ch%E1%BB%A7","privacy_url":"https://sites.google.com/view/compressai/trang-ch%E1%BB%A7","website_url":"https://sites.google.com/view/compressai/trang-ch%E1%BB%A7","app_version":"5.0","release_notes":"Fix bug\nFast Crompress","rating_current_version":null,"rating_count_current_version":0,"star_counts":[0,0,0,0,0],"genres":["Utilities","Lifestyle"],"languages":["AR","EN","FR","DE","HI","ID","JA","KO","PT","ZH","ES","VI"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad","ipod"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-14T15:45:13.289Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-04T17:02:12.969Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-04T16:03:13.457Z","placed_at":"2026-11-04T16:32:12.991Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T17:58:12.836Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Compresses photos, videos, audio and documents in batches, then lets you keep or share the smaller copies.","what_is":"Handbrace - Compress Factory is a free utility for reducing the file size of photos, videos, audio and documents, including multiple files in one batch.
