Video Stabilizer Pro takes the bounce out of clips you shot walking, dancing, or just trying to keep up. No upload, no account. Pick a video, choose how steady you want it, save the smoothed version. Audio and HDR pass through untouched, and the result keeps the shape of the original — just a little tighter. WHY STABILIZE • Private by design — everything happens on your device. Works on a plane, on a hike, anywhere. • Buy once, keep it forever — the lifetime unlock covers every Apple device you own. Prefer a plan? Weekly and yearly are there too. • Real before/after — drag a divider across the frame to wipe between the original and the stabilized version, both playing in sync at the exact same moment. • Smart enough to leave the right clips alone — screen recordings and animated content won't get mangled. ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE Pro covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac, whether you buy it once or subscribe. Stabilize a clip on your phone right after you shoot it, or pull it onto your Mac for a bigger view and faster turnaround. Family Sharing included. On iPhone Duo, open the phone for a bigger preview with the controls beside it, or stand it half-open on a table: clip on top, dial below. HOW IT WORKS Three taps. Pick a clip, choose a feel — Subtle, Balanced, Steady, or Cinematic — and the app tells you how much of the frame it may trim before you commit. Save. Most handheld clips finish in seconds. GOOD TO KNOW • Works with anything your phone or camera shot. HDR clips stay HDR; Dolby Vision clips keep their full range and come out as standard HDR. • Best for handheld clips up to about 90 seconds — longer ones still work, they just take more time. • When you save, you choose: a clean export with Pro, or one of three free exports at full quality with a Video Stabilizer Pro watermark. Buy Pro once and keep it forever, or subscribe. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://video-stabilizer.dmrschmidt.de/privacy

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video Stabilizer Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Extractor has 21 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Photo Extractor's written reviews are positive against 0% of Video Stabilizer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Photo Extractor ships an update every 10 months, Video Stabilizer Pro weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
