Open the ThinPic app and select a photo or album of photos stored on your iPhone®, iPad®, or Android device, ThinPic will create a new album and then reduce the photo file size up to 70% of its original size.

Once the photo is saved it will retain its image quality and resolution.

You can store up to 3 times as many high resolution photos on their device or cloud storage services. Also, save on data transfer rates by reducing the file size of your photos prior to sharing them with friends and family through email and social media.

Pro Photographer vs. Amateur: Is There a Difference Anymore?

In case you hadn’t heard, last month The Chicago Sun-Times, the venerable midwestern paper with a paid daily readership of over a quarter of a million and many more online, fired all 28 of its full-time news photographers. The paper and its website will acquire photos and videos not only from the wire services and from freelancers, but also from the news reporters themselves, who presumably will snap photos when not taking notes on a story. Is there a difference between professional and amateur anymore?

iOS 6 Panorama Mode and "Actual Size" Sharing

When ThinPic says "Actual Size", it means it... and your pic takes up less space, too.

- Steve Wilson, Photographer

ThinPic has the ability to reduce file sizes of photos on iOS devices, without sacrificing resolution. The panorama available in iOS 6 mode captures a 10800x2380 image, 17 MB on the phone. When a user shares one of these photos via the iPhone email app, they can choose the "actual size" setting (along with large, medium or small) to reduce the image for faster transmission. The "actual size" setting actually scales the image back to 8640 x 1904 to get a file size of around 5.5MB. ThinPic can reduce the same image to 4.4MB, while maintaining the same resolution of 10800 x 2380.

We are able to provide high resolution images at up to 60 - 70% of the size of the original, with very little visible loss. The closest thing that iPhone has built in in the ability to reduce an image when you are emailing. The email app gives you several (small, medium, large and original) size options and reduces the image to save on data and transmit faster. However, to accomplish the smaller sized photo, iPhone is actually scaling the image to half of the size. ThinPIC can keep the original dimensions AND (in most cases) create a smaller image than iPhone's "large" email image.
