 Anyone know of a good website or app for compressing files on an iPhone? https://tools.rotato.app/compress isn’t working on safari.

 The Rotato tools website not working is a bummer.

There are several alternatives you can try:

**Websites:**

1. **SmallPDF**: A popular online platform for compressing and manipulating files. You can access it through Safari.
2. **FileZigZag**: Another online tool that allows you to compress, zip, and resize files without downloading any software.
3. **Online-Convert**: A versatile website that offers various file compression options, including ZIP, RAR, and 7z.

**Apps:**

1. **File Size**: A simple app (free, with in-app purchases) specifically designed for iPhone to compress files and reduce their size.
2. **Zip**, **RAR**, or **7zip**: There are several apps available on the App Store that allow you to create zip archives from multiple files.
3. **Documents by Readdle**: A powerful document management app (free, with in-app purchases) that includes a file compressor tool.

Before using any of these options, please note:

* Some online tools might have size limitations or require registration for more advanced features.
* Always check the app's reviews and ratings to ensure it meets your requirements.
* Be cautious when downloading apps from the App Store, as some may have ads or in-app purchases.

Hope this helps you find a suitable alternative!
