## What is Vidsmith?

No ads · No upload · No watermark · Pay once available

All your video tools in one place — and your videos never leave your iPhone.

Vidsmith compresses, converts, trims, crops, extracts audio, and turns videos into GIFs and Live Photos — entirely on-device. No uploads, no servers, no waiting for a cloud.

COMPRESS TO A TARGET SIZE — pick a size like 16 MB or 25 MB and Vidsmith chooses the resolution and quality to fit
VIDEO TO LIVE PHOTO — turn any 2 or 3 seconds of a video into a Live Photo. Some clips can also be set as a Lock Screen wallpaper
CONVERT — MP4/MOV, H.264/HEVC, up to 4K, with a live size estimate. One-tap compatibility mode for older devices, Windows & the web
TRIM — Lossless fast cut in seconds, or frame-accurate precise mode
CROP & ROTATE — 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3 presets, plus rotate & flip (rotation is lossless)
AUDIO — extract the audio track as M4A, or mute a video losslessly
VIDEO TO GIF — turn videos and Live Photos into GIFs with custom speed, reverse and loop-back. No watermark, ever

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Processing happens 100% on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, ever.
Vidsmith only asks to add to your Photos — it sees only the videos you pick and can never delete anything from your library.
Exports keep the original capture date and location. Open videos from Photos or the Files app.

VIDSMITH PRO
Batch processing, 4K export, custom target sizes, unlimited exports, and high-fps wide GIFs. Weekly, yearly — or unlock forever with a one-time purchase.
