low res camera app? (self.techsupport)

submitted 1 month ago by Imgonnatrythis to c/[email protected]

It's always eaten at me when I see someone taking a photo of a parking lot sign or some trivial piece of information, saving megabytes of data for a couple of bytes worth of data. However, I find myself guilty of doing this sort of nonsense sometimes as well now. I don't want these photos getting synced to my photo cloud, and I'd prefer it if they were much smaller, lower res photos anyway. Is there a decent app I can open that I can quickly take default low res photos with and keep them separately stored locally without integrating to my photo gallery? Preferably FOSS of course.

Awesome! Thanks so much. I think I got this figured out. These are great apps. The hard part was getting Google photos to ignore these pictures, it's very aggressive about scraping and there is no option to exclude folder. I downloaded fossify file manager and created a. Nomedia file in my opencam folder and that seemed to work though!
