VidZip is the video compressor built for iPhone. Shrink your videos by up to 85% without visible quality loss — reclaim storage, fit videos under email and messaging limits, and share faster. All processing happens on your device. No uploads, no accounts, no watermark, ever. ► THREE QUALITY PRESETS Pick how aggressively to compress: • High Quality — ~50% smaller, near-lossless • Balanced — ~70% smaller, visually identical to most eyes • Space Saver — ~85% smaller, maximum shrinkage ► TARGET SIZE MODE (PRO) Need a video under 25 MB for email, or under 100 MB for upload? Enter an exact file size and VidZip calculates the right bitrate to hit it. No guessing, no trial and error. ► BATCH PROCESSING (PRO) Compress 10, 20, or more videos at once. Drop in a whole trip's worth of footage and let it run. Each video shows its own progress and result. ► KEEPS YOUR RESOLUTION VidZip lowers bitrate, not resolution. Your 4K video stays 4K — just smaller. No ugly downscaling, no soft picture, no surprise quality loss. ► NO WATERMARK, EVER Other free compressors stamp their logo on your video. VidZip never will. Clean output, always, even in the free version. ► 100% ON-DEVICE Every byte is processed locally on your iPhone. Nothing uploads to any server — there is no server. Your videos stay private, and the app works fully offline.
