How can I compress images in Xamarin.Forms?

You can use libraries like SkiaSharp or ImageSharp to compress images in Xamarin.Forms. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example using SkiaSharp.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

using SkiaSharp;

public void CompressImage(string inputPath, string outputPath, int quality)
{
    using (var input = File.OpenRead(inputPath))
    using (var original = SKBitmap.Decode(input))
    using (var image = SKImage.FromBitmap(original))
    using (var data = image.Encode(SKEncodedImageFormat.Jpeg, quality))
    using (var output = File.OpenWrite(outputPath))
    {
        data.SaveTo(output);
    }
}

This function takes an input image path, an output path, and a quality parameter (0-100). Would you like to know more about image formats?

What other image formats can I use besides JPEG?

Besides JPEG, you can use PNG, GIF, and BMP formats. Each has its own advantages depending on your needs. Do you need help with a specific format?
