# Reduce photo file size

Asked by Rajkumar on 2020-04-26

Dear OF team,
when we take a photo using collect mobile, some time we have to collect more and more photos(possibly with geolocated although we collect separate GPS locations). It would be more advantageous if we could choose the size of the photo from less then 1 MB. But we do not have the option to do so and the devices produce more than 1 MB sized photo. In this condition what should I do? Thank you.

Dear Rajkumar,  
The only way now to control the size of the photos is from the settings of the camera app on your phone.  
We will add soon the possibility to reduce the produced image size even from Collect Mobile, by choosing from a list of predefined values for the resolution (depending on the device).  
Many thanks,
