Skwish is a video compressor that doesn't waste your time. No accounts. No uploads. No "we're processing your file in the cloud, please wait six minutes" energy. Pick a quality, drop in a clip, and your phone, iPad, or Mac does the squishing — using the dedicated video chips Apple already put in there for exactly this. Why you'll like it • Stupidly fast. Skwish uses Apple Silicon's hardware video engines for compression that is fast and battery friendly. • Three presets: High for keepsakes. Balanced for everyday saving. Small for "I just need to share this quick!". Or hit Custom and dial in your own bitrate, frame rate, max size, and audio if you're feeling fancy. • Stays on your device. Your videos never leave your phone or Mac. No account to create. No server to send anything to. No record kept of what you compressed. No analytics or tracking. • iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One purchase covers all of them. And on the Mac you also get a bundled command-line tool, in case you're the kind of person who likes typing at things (or scripting). • Plays well with everything. Drop files in from anywhere. Share videos straight from Photos via the Share Sheet. Run Skwish from a Shortcut to automate the boring bits. Drag or share the result into Messages, Files, or wherever it needs to go next. Five free compressions to start. If you like it, one tap unlocks unlimited use forever — no subscription, no monthly anything, Family Sharing supported. Pay once, squish forever. Please Squish responsibly. Only delete original files if you're happy with the Squished versions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Skwish at none against Video Compressor・Reduce Size's shown. Skwish also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Video Compressor・Reduce Size's advantage is ratings volume (320 vs 2) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video Compressor・Reduce Size holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Compressor・Reduce Size has 320 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Video Compressor・Reduce Size's written reviews are positive against 50% of Skwish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Video Compressor・Reduce Size ships an update every 4 months, Skwish weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
