## What is H.265?

Do you like the new H.265 video format (aka HEVC) of iOS 11, but want more control on how to cross convert between the new H.265 format and the old H.264 format?

Unlike the simpe sytem wide conversion of iOS 11, this app enables you to select the exact videos you want and convert them between H.265 and H.264 format.

You can also reduce the resolution of the videos for the additional video compression.

You also don't need to worry about losing any information of the videos. It preserves all the metadata.

• Detect H.264 (old codec type) videos automatically.
• Detect H.265 (new code type) videos automatically.
• Convert old H.264 format to new H.265 format for space efficiency. It would compress video and let you resume more space.
• Convert new H.265 format to old H.264 format for better compatability. It would enlarge file size, but provide better compatabiity instead.
• Optionally reduce the resolution of the videos for additional compression.
• Save the converted videos to Camera Roll.
• Share the converted videos.
• Export the converted videos to iTunes file sharing.
• Optionally delete the original videos.

Notice: You need iPhone7 or above to encode your video to H.265 format.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2022-12-31, version 1.0.11*

Hello, this app does nothing, on my iPad it does not find any h265 files or anything, can not convert anything. Says it will work with Apple iPad, false. Total scam. Update, found that it will convert H264 to H265. But will not auto detect or will not convert H265 to H264. Also have reached out to Owner of app. No response.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-04-03, version 1.0.8*

I want to try 2.265 codec they say it’s better for IG. So I select one video. App tells me it is 2.264.  Yes I select video to test, go to next screen no way to select 2.265 so I convert anyway back to original codec, AKA nothing. Using iPhone 6x.  App is WORTHLESS I just wasted $3

### 1/5 — This app DOES NOT WORK!

*2021-03-17, version 1.0.8*

SCAM. Complete waste of money. DO NOT BUY THIS APP

### 1/5 — Won’t convert from h.264 to h.265

*2021-03-08, version 1.0.7*

The option to convert from h.264 to h.265 isn’t even clickable. Garbage app and I’d like my money back

### 5/5 — Airdrop to computer. Must go to Photos first.

*2021-03-04, version 1.0.7*

Mac loves to auto convert back h.264 for some reason. And for my 4GB file took forever and Mac gave me no indication that it was even converting on the fly. Very frustrating thinking it got stuck to only find out later with many duplicates the file finally got converted back to large files. Had to airdrop into Photos preserving the small file size then Exporting original file. Couldn’t even drag file out of photos because it would again auto convert back. 

FEATURE REQUEST. frame rate options. That is it.

### 2/5 — Crashes for batch converts

*2019-12-31, version 1.0.4*

The app has an issue with crashing when doing large file conversions.

### 3/5 — Reduced bit rate

*2019-02-12, version 1.0.2*

Bit rate can be reduced by more than half, producing useless videos with degraded quality. No option to adjust or keep original bit rate. Limited controls

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-01-06, version 1.0.2*

This app works perfectly. I was skeptical about the low price, but it does exactly what it is supposed to do. It only does one task but it does it very well. There is only on other app on the App Store that converts videos like this, and it makes you select the videos one by one, this app will let you select all of the videos in a single format and convert them all at once and then delete the originals. That is perfect. I was looking for an app that would take video from a professional camera via the SD card adapter and upload it online. With this app, I can convert the videos to a smaller file size and upload them saving time and date up. It is perfect once again

### 1/5 — No good👎🏻

*2018-09-29, version 1.0.1*

No good no good

### 1/5 — Review

*2018-09-16, version 1.0.1*

It’s not good. Please save your money.
