About

Reduce Video Size ◍

Features
Read full description

Reduce Video Size is a focused utility for turning large videos into smaller MP4 files you can manage more easily. Select a video from Photos or Files, choose a compression strength, or use Advanced controls for target file size and resolution. The app estimates the output before processing, then shows a preview of the completed export. Recent results are saved in History, so repeated compression work is easier to review and reuse. Each result can be renamed, saved to Photos, or shared through the system share sheet. Core video compression is handled locally on device and does not require sign-in. Optional Pro access can be purchased to unlock additional features.
