Скачать или смотреть Compressing Photos on an SD Card with iOS 18

Briefly showing how I’m using the files app to convert .jpg photos to .heic to compress the photos and save space using an iPhone 16 Pro.

Photos were converted on an SD Card attached with Apples USB-C to SD Card reader on an iPhone 16 Pro. It may be possible to do with an iPhone 15 and up using the same adapter or with iPhone 12 and up with a Lightning to SD Card reader (I originally did similar conversions using Shortcuts and the photos app which worked but was much slower on older iPhones). Once the conversion/compression was confirmed, the larger JPEGS were deleted.

I have a lot more photos to convert/shrink but am happy it’s fairly simple to do in Files. Now this was just for photos, not videos. I have converted h.264 videos to h.265 but so far that’s been using Shortcuts and may be a future short or video.
