## What is Video Compressor Save Storage?

Running out of iPhone storage? Video Compressor helps you reduce the size of videos in your Photos library and recover space—without uploading your photo or video content to SwiftLee servers.

See your potential savings before changing anything. Choose the videos you want to compress, select the quality that works for you, and compare the real result before deciding what happens to the original.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Scan your library to see how much storage your videos use and what you could save
2. Pick one or more videos, or start with smart collections such as Recent, Long, Large, or 4K
3. Choose High Quality, Balanced, or Max Saving
4. Compare your original and compressed video side by side
5. Keep the original, or delete it only after you explicitly confirm

WHY VIDEO COMPRESSOR

• On-device HEVC compression helps reduce video size while preserving strong visual quality
• Estimated savings are shown before compression starts
• Compress multiple selected videos in one session
• Compare the actual result using your own video—not stock footage
• No account, no advertising, and no media uploads to SwiftLee servers
• iCloud originals are downloaded through Apple PhotoKit and processed one at a time with clear progress
• Your originals remain untouched until you choose otherwise

SIRI, SPOTLIGHT AND SHORTCUTS

• Ask Siri how much storage you could save, or how much you have already saved, without opening the app
• Start from Siri, Spotlight, or the Action Button to review your recent, large, long, or 4K videos for compression. The app opens on the review screen, so you stay in control
• Find the actions in the Shortcuts app and add them to your own automations

PRIVACY AND CONTROL

Scanning, analysis, and compression happen on your iPhone. If a video is stored in iCloud, Apple PhotoKit downloads it for local processing. Video Compressor never deletes an original automatically.

### 5/5 — Magic for saving space

*2026-10-27*

It’s basically magic, I get to keep my videos and free up so much space. I like that I can also keep my originals too if I want. Super flexible and VERY well made.

### 5/5 — 148GB Saved!

*2026-10-26*

I have no idea how this works but I don’t notice any difference in the quality.

### 5/5 — Saves tons of space

*2026-10-25*

I have tons of videos and this app can make them smaller. Most of them I don’t need at full quality.

### 5/5 — Great potential

*2026-10-03*

As I write this it’s an early version of the app and feels more vibe coded than mature but I’m hopeful it’ll improve. It does work though, just buggy and and not convinced by all UX choices. It relies on AI recommendations way too much, let me select the videos I want from my library, the recommendations are mostly irrelevant wishful thinking. It’s also impossible to exclude already compressed videos, which keep getting recommended for compression again. I’ve paid for the app yet it keeps telling me I haven’t and I have to keep restoring purchase, which then works again.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this detailed review and trust in the early version! I’m a developer since 2009 and actively improving and building this app based on my experience. Yet, I totally agree these things need to be improved. 

If you’re open to it, I’d love to get in touch and discuss the UX ideas you have. In that case, email me at support@videocompression.app

I’ll either way try to fix all the points you shared that are clear to me.

Best,

Antoine

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.3 — 2026-11-06

Fixed:
• Swiping in compression review removes a video from the queue with Remove; deleting from your library is a separate Delete action next to it.
• Removing videos from compression review no longer crashes when your free allowance applies to part of the queue.
• The optional onboarding email step also appears when you skip compressing the first video, with shorter copy and a layout that fits smaller screens.
• The Home screen stays more responsive while Duplicate Videos scans in the background.
• The before/after videos at the end of onboarding now keep looping instead of stopping after one play.
• The Keep Me Posted button on the onboarding email step fits on one line in more languages.

New:
• On a video, Show Queue is the only button at the top and turns blue when you add a video; Delete moved to the bottom bar. Tapping Add to Queue on videos that can't be compressed explains why.
• About the Developer has shorter text, and the review prompt says every review is read.
• Onboarding picks an example video that plays reliably, can use a small iCloud video on cellular, and skips iCloud prompts when you compress your first video during onboarding; the paywall no longer claims storage saved when you kept the original.
• The first-video tip on Compress Video shows after onboarding even if you compressed during onboarding.
• Original and compressed videos in the comparison slider stay in sync while they loop.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-10-30

Fixed:
• Scrolling and updating a large video library is smoother; the grid no longer freezes for seconds while Duplicate Videos scans in the background.
• Video thumbnails that stayed blank after browsing a large library load again, including iCloud previews, and views you left no longer slow down the ones you're viewing.
• Duplicate Videos rows scroll all the way to the screen edge. Long Videos opens with the longest videos first, and Recent large videos lists only clips you recorded in the last 30 days.
• Deleted videos animate out of your library and the review screen instead of disappearing at once.
• Play, skip and volume controls stay below the navigation bar. Videos beyond the free limit no longer show a lock while selecting; Review explains the limit and shows how much Pro would save when none fit the free allowance.

New:
• The name under the app icon is now shorter (Compressor) so it no longer gets cut off on the Home Screen. You can still say "Video Compressor" to Siri.
• Biggest savings is now Your 20 largest videos: your largest clips by file size, without a date range on the row. Older 4K, Screen recordings, Slo-mo, Timelapse and Cinematic rows no longer show a date range either.
• Open in Photos at the bottom of video details opens the clip in Photos. After you delete several videos, a short celebration shows how much storage you freed.
• The first time you open Duplicate Videos, a tip explains you can tap any thumbnail to delete that video too.
• Choose email updates about new features from onboarding, Account > Email Updates, or About the Developer. Invite friends by email from Invite Friends (up to 10 a day).
• About the Developer in Account tells you who builds the app and makes it easy to leave a review or sign up for updates.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-26

Fixed:
• The Original and Compressed labels on the before-and-after comparison are now easy to read in light mode.
• Tapping Compress on Review with a very large selection now starts right away and shows progress, instead of appearing to do nothing.
• Onboarding buttons now follow the rounded corners of the display.
• During onboarding, the example video no longer gets stuck on a spinner when the picked clip isn't fully on your iPhone: the app only picks videos stored on the device, and shows a still if playback still fails.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-23

New:
• Ask Siri how much storage you could save with Video Compressor, or how much you have already saved. Start reviewing your recent, large, long, or 4K videos from Siri, Spotlight, or the Action Button, and find the actions in the Shortcuts app.

### 1.3.3 — 2026-10-21

Fixed:
• On foldable displays such as iPhone Duo, the onboarding scanning, savings, first-video, compressing, and paywall pages now use both pages of a book-like or unfolded display instead of stretching across the fold.
• The checkmark in the iCloud storage animation during onboarding no longer glitches at the end.
