FAQ
How does Pinch compress videos and photos?
Pinch compresses videos and photos directly on your device using your phone's hardware. It offers three compression levels: Smallest, Balanced, and Quality, allowing you to choose the best balance between file size and visual fidelity.
Does Pinch modify my original files?
No, Pinch never touches your original files. It reads your selected media and writes a new, compressed file to a different location, ensuring your originals remain untouched and safe.
Can I use Pinch offline?
Yes, Pinch works entirely offline. Compression is processed using your device's hardware, so no internet connection, account, or server is required, making it usable even in airplane mode.
What are the limitations of the free version of Pinch?
The free version of Pinch allows for up to 300 MB of input per day. This daily allowance resets at midnight and is sufficient for compressing short clips or batches of photos without needing to upgrade.
What features are included in Pinch PRO?
Pinch PRO removes the daily compression limit, allows for files of any size, and enables batch processing for multiple files at once. PRO is available through weekly, monthly, or yearly subscriptions, with a 3-day free trial for the yearly plan.
Does Pinch collect any user data?
No, Pinch collects absolutely nothing. It does not gather analytics, advertising data, crash reports, or identifiers, and does not require an account. Your videos and photos remain exclusively on your device.
How does Pinch handle video quality?
Pinch aims to preserve quality during compression. HDR video remains HDR, portrait clips stay upright, and metadata like photo dates, camera details, and location are retained. HEVC files are kept as HEVC, while others are converted to H.264 for broad compatibility.
How often is Pinch updated?
Pinch was last updated on September 28, 2026, with version 1.0. Based on this information, it appears to be a newly released application.
