## What is Below?

Need it under 10 MB? Choose the maximum file size. Below makes the video fit.

Below does one job: it makes a video fit strictly under the size you ask for. No bitrate math, no quality sliders, no guessing. Type the limit in MB, tap Make it smaller, and Below picks the resolution, frame rate and bitrate for you. Then it checks the finished file byte for byte, so a video Below calls done really is below your limit.

PICK THE LIMIT. WE HANDLE THE REST.
• Enter any size from 0.1 MB up, with decimals.
• Tap a preset: 10, 25, 50 or 100 MB.
• Save three sizes of your own in My sizes. They are one tap away in the app and in the Share Sheet.
• Below warns you before a limit would cost too much detail, and refuses limits that cannot produce a watchable video.
• Already small enough? Below keeps the original quality and tells you so.

VERIFIED, NOT ESTIMATED
Below measures the real output file after encoding. If a first pass lands over the limit, Below tries again at a lower bitrate. It never reports a predicted size as a result. Duration, orientation and audio are preserved. Saved copies keep the date the video was filmed, so they land in the right place in Photos. Location is removed unless you choose to keep it. Output is standard H.264 MP4 with AAC audio, so it plays and shares anywhere.

KEEPS GOING IN THE BACKGROUND
Start a compression, then switch to another app or lock your phone. Below keeps working, iOS shows its progress, and you can stop it from there.

COMPRESS FROM WHEREVER THE VIDEO LIVES
• Photos and Files inside the app.
• Share Sheet: share a video from Photos or Files, choose Below, and finish right there.
• Shortcuts: the Compress Video Below Size action takes a video and a target in MB and hands back the smaller file for any automation.

YOUR VIDEO NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE
Everything happens on your device. No account. No upload. No servers. No analytics. Your original video is never changed or deleted. Below collects no data.

SIMPLE, HONEST PRICING
Your first three compressions are free, with full quality and no watermark. Below Pro unlocks unlimited compressions for a single one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. Ever.

WHAT BELOW IS NOT
Below is not a video editor or a media library. It does not trim, filter, batch or convert between formats. It is the fastest way to answer one question: how do I get this video under X MB?

Sizes use decimal megabytes (1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes), the same unit Photos and most services use. Very short clips and very small limits may not have enough room for a watchable result; Below tells you when that happens instead of producing something unusable.

## Pricing and in-app purchases

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-09-28

Compress in the background. Start a video, switch to another app or lock your phone, and Below keeps going. iOS shows its progress, and you can stop it from there.

Saved copies now keep the date the video was filmed, so they land in the right place in Photos. Location stays off unless you turn on "Keep where it was filmed" under Video details in About Below.

No release notes.
