You can also send the videos to your friends and family faster, since smaller files take less time to upload! You can compress one video or up to 20 videos at a time to make the process even faster. These are some of advantages of using this application: - Intuitive and easy to use interface - Preserve sound quality - Faster uploads and sending via messaging apps - Keep both reduced and original files - Restore deleted files if needed - Multiple file compression - Your private files stay secured - Offline compression - No need to delete your favorite videos to free up space Most importantly, the sound in the video will remain unchanged so that you can enjoy videos of the highest quality.

If you prefer to keep the original uncompressed files, you are free to do so. If you delete a file by mistake and want to restore it, you can later find it in the “Recently deleted” folder. Another piece of good news is that this application supports a lot of different video formats, so you will not need to use a video converter to compress your files. Multi Video Compressor supports the following formats: mov, mp4, m4v, sdv, 3gp, 3gpp, 3g2, 3gp2 At this point, there is really no reason not to use this app! But let’s talk about safety.
