It depends on the scene and your settings. On the default Saver level, photos are about 60% smaller than the stock camera, 4K video about 64%, and FHD video about 62% (estimated on iPhone 17 Pro Max against the stock Camera app at the same resolution and frame rate). You can see the actual saving for each capture in the in-app album.

Resolution, frame rate and color are left alone — only the compression strength changes. The default Saver level is tuned to keep plenty of quality for viewing on your phone. Pick Standard or Max if you want more headroom.

Saver cuts size sharply against the stock camera, Standard matches the stock camera's quality and size, and Max leaves extra headroom for editing and archiving. Levels apply to photos and video separately, and Fine Tuning lets you set the target size for each resolution yourself.

RAW (Apple ProRAW) exists to preserve the original, so no size saving is applied to it. Turning RAW on saves a DNG original alongside a HEIF, and those files are very large.

Into the built-in Photos app, exactly as usual. GramCamera does not create a separate library, so every other app can use them as always and your captures stay even if you delete the app.

A view of the captures already in your Photos library, so you can see how much each one saved. It reads your library rather than keeping its own copies.

Photo, video, slow motion and time-lapse; 4K 60 fps, HDR video and Spatial Audio recording; ultra wide, wide and telephoto switching plus macro; white balance lock, exposure compensation, grid and timer; simultaneous front and back capture. It runs on iPad too.

Camera for taking photos and video, microphone for video sound, and photo library access to save your captures. Read access lets the in-app album show how much each capture saved. Location is used only if you turn location tagging on.

No. Captures stay on your device and in your photo library, and are never uploaded to us or to third parties. The app shows ads and uses analytics so it can stay free — see the privacy policy for details.

If you turn on Location tag in Settings, the location is written into the capture's metadata (EXIF). That value stays on your device and is not transmitted anywhere. If you deny the permission, the feature turns itself off.

A notice about the ad slot appears at the bottom of the screen after 10 captures, and real ads start after 20. The ad steps aside for a moment when you press the shutter or use a control, so it never gets in the way of a shot.

Yes — every feature is available with no limits. The app is supported by ads.

The shutter sound is played by iOS at the system level and follows your device's silent switch. The app cannot turn it on or off.
