Compress toward a KB or MB goal
Enter the file size you are aiming for and choose a quality approach. The app works toward that target while protecting usable image quality; the final size can vary when an exact target is not safely achievable.
Android image utility
Photo Compressor & BG Remover brings compression, resizing, format conversion, comparison, batch processing, and background removal into one clear workflow. Selected images are processed on your device, and you stay in control of what gets saved or shared.
A practical image toolkit
From a file that is too large to a result that is ready to upload, send, publish, or keep.
Large photos can be awkward when a form has a file-size limit, a messaging app is slow, or a website needs lighter images. Photo Compressor & BG Remover lets you choose a target size, quality mode, output dimensions, and file format before processing.
The same app also handles visual cleanup. Its bundled background-removal model can isolate a subject on the device, after which you can keep a transparent background or replace it with a solid color.
Every workflow ends with a review step. Compare the source and processed image, inspect dimensions and file-size information, then decide whether to save, open, or share the result.
There is no account to create. The app uses Android’s system photo picker so you choose the specific images it can access instead of granting read access to an entire photo library.
Core capabilities
Use a quick preset when speed matters, or open the detailed controls when the output must meet a specific size, resolution, or format requirement.
Enter the file size you are aiming for and choose a quality approach. The app works toward that target while protecting usable image quality; the final size can vary when an exact target is not safely achievable.
Use a preset scale or provide custom width and height values. Keep the aspect ratio when proportions must remain unchanged, and decide whether upscaling is allowed.
Pick the format that matches the job. JPG and WEBP are useful for smaller photographic files; PNG preserves lossless detail and transparency where those characteristics matter.
Select a group, apply a shared configuration, monitor progress, and review the per-image results together. Save or share successful outputs without repeating the setup for every photo.
Run the bundled background-removal model locally. Export a transparent PNG or WEBP, or add a solid replacement color and save as PNG, WEBP, or JPG.
Inspect original and processed previews along with size and resolution details. Recent compression and background-removal work remains available through local History.
Detailed feature guide
The app keeps selection, configuration, processing, and review distinct so you can understand what will happen before generating a new file.
Image selection starts with Android’s system photo picker. Choose one photo for a focused edit or select multiple images for a batch. The app reads the selected content and the local metadata needed to display and process it, such as dimensions, format, file size, transparency information, and orientation.
You do not need to grant the app read access to your complete photo library. Add or remove items from the selection before moving to configuration.
Set a target file size in KB or MB, then choose the controls that matter for the intended destination. Resize by percentage for a quick reduction or provide exact width and height values when a form, marketplace, or publishing system expects specific dimensions.
Format choice affects the result. JPG is broadly compatible for photographs, PNG supports transparency and lossless output, and WEBP can offer an efficient balance between quality and size. For very small target files, JPG or WEBP will usually be more suitable than PNG.
Compression, conversion, resizing, comparison preparation, and background removal are performed by app code on the device. The developer does not operate an image-processing backend that receives selected photos or generated results.
For a batch, the app shows progress and produces a summary for the individual items. A failed or cancelled item does not erase the results that completed successfully.
Background removal uses a U2-NetP model packaged with the app and ONNX Runtime on the device. The model does not need to download an image to a remote service to identify the subject.
After the preview is ready, keep the background transparent or choose a solid replacement color. Transparent output is available through PNG or WEBP. A colored background can also be exported as JPG.
The result view helps you compare the original and processed image and understand what changed. Review the original and processed file sizes, dimensions, format, and reported savings before choosing a next action.
Saving writes a generated image to the shared Pictures collection. Open and Share use Android’s standard app-selection flow, so you decide which receiving application gets temporary access to the chosen result.
History keeps recent compression and background-removal records in the app’s private local storage. You can revisit visible results, remove an individual record, or clear History from within the app.
Temporary output files may be removed when Android clears cache. Images that you deliberately saved to the public gallery remain there until you delete them through a gallery or file manager.
Quick reference
Start with the outcome you need. These are the primary app controls available for common image tasks.
| Your goal | Control to use | Expected result |
|---|---|---|
| Meet an upload limit | Custom target size in KB or MB | Compression toward the chosen target; exact size may vary to preserve a usable result. |
| Reduce dimensions quickly | Preset resize percentage | A smaller width and height with the original proportions retained. |
| Use exact dimensions | Custom width and height | A result tailored to specific pixel requirements, with aspect-ratio and upscaling controls. |
| Keep transparency | PNG or WEBP output | An output capable of preserving transparent pixels. |
| Create a standard photo file | JPG output | A widely compatible photographic image with a solid background. |
| Prepare many photos | Batch selection and shared configuration | Up to 50 images processed through the same workflow with per-image results. |
| Isolate a subject | Remove Background | A transparent cutout or an image with a selected solid replacement color. |
Everyday uses
Keep the subject and composition you want while adapting the file for the place it needs to go.
Work toward a required KB or MB limit and use exact dimensions when an upload field specifies them.
Create smaller copies for quicker sending while keeping the original photo untouched.
Remove a distracting background, keep transparency, or add a simple solid color.
Resize and convert images for lighter pages, posts, thumbnails, and platform-specific dimensions.
Privacy and data handling
The app does not upload selected images, generated results, filenames, content URIs, EXIF metadata, or image-processing results to a developer-operated server or to Google Mobile Ads.
Read the complete privacy policyAndroid’s system photo picker lets you grant access to the images you select instead of the complete photo library.
Compression, resizing, conversion, comparison, and background removal run with app code and a model on the device.
The app contains Google ads and uses Google’s consent services. Depending on consent, region, device settings, and SDK configuration, Google may process advertising-related data as described in the privacy policy.
Saving, opening, and sharing happen after you choose the action. Public gallery copies must be deleted through the gallery or file manager.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about targets, formats, privacy, background removal, and where generated files go.
No. Selected and generated images are processed locally and are not uploaded to a developer-operated image-processing server. Internet access is used for Google advertising and consent services, not to send your photos for compression or background removal.
The app compresses toward the selected target. The final file can differ because format, image complexity, transparency, dimensions, and the need to preserve usable quality affect how small an image can safely become.
You can export JPG, PNG, or WEBP. Transparent background results are available in PNG or WEBP. A solid replacement background can be exported in PNG, WEBP, or JPG.
A batch can contain up to 50 selected images. The app applies the chosen workflow, shows progress, and provides a per-image summary when processing finishes.
The background-removal model is bundled with the app and runs on the device through ONNX Runtime. It does not require a remote model or an image upload. Google advertising and consent functions may still use an internet connection elsewhere in the app.
When you choose Save, generated images are written to the device’s shared Pictures collection where supported. They remain in the public gallery until you remove them with a gallery or file manager.
No. The app does not create user accounts. History and temporary processing files are stored locally in app-private storage and cache.
The app includes a searchable selector with 26 packaged language or regional options, plus System Default. Available options include multiple Indian languages as well as Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Urdu.
