## What is Video Compressor?

ShrinkIt shrinks videos on your iPhone so you can free up storage and share clips through email or messaging apps without hitting size limits.

KEY FEATURES

Smart Video Compression
Five quality presets or a custom target file size. Up to 90% size reduction at the lowest setting.

Quality Presets

- 720p HD: Balance of quality and size
- 480p SD: Standard quality for everyday use
- 360p: Smaller files for messaging
- 144p: Maximum compression for minimal storage

Target Size Control
Set a target in MB. ShrinkIt picks compression settings to land near it. Useful for email attachments or platform upload limits.

Batch Queue

Real-Time Progress

### 1/5 — Nice if it worked

*2026-06-01*

The app has a lovely UI and it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into it.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work. Every video I’ve tried says “Compression Failed”, no matter which quality setting I use.
“Try with 480P (more reliable)” also does not work, sadly.
It also regularly shows a pop-up warning about videos being in iCloud when they were recorded in the Camera app, so are definitely on-device.

I’d love to try this app again if you can get it working, because it looks really nice otherwise!

### 5/5 — Great video compression application

*2025-09-29*

I’ve been using ShrinkIt on my iPhone for a few days and overall I’m very happy with it. As someone who records a lot of video (family moments, travel clips, etc.), storage space gets eaten up fast — ShrinkIt does a great job helping me manage that without constant worry.

Very user‑friendly interface — it’s obvious what to do. select the video, pick a compression level, and go. No confusing jargon.
The previews are really helpful — I can see how much size I’ll save, and how much video quality I’ll lose, before committing.
Speed is decent — especially on more recent iPhones. Compression doesn’t feel sluggish unless it’s a long video or very high resolution.
Handles multiple videos fine. I was able to compress several clips in one go, which saved me a lot of time.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the detailed review! We're glad you liked the app :)
