Easy Video Compressor is a video compression app that reduces the file size of videos on your iPhone and iPad. Pick a target size of 10 MB, 25 MB, or 50 MB, or choose the quality you want, and compress. It helps you share videos by email or chat, fit upload limits, and save storage space. Compression runs entirely on your device, so your videos are never uploaded for processing. The free version lets you compress videos one at a time by target size or quality. Batch compression and fine-grained settings are available in the Pro version (one-time purchase). ■ Shrink videos for storage, email, and social media uploads - You keep seeing "Storage Almost Full" - Your photo library is packed with videos of kids and pets - A video is too large to attach to an email or send on WhatsApp or Discord - A submission form or social platform rejects your upload - You want to keep 4K footage without it eating up space - You want to convert H.264 to HEVC (H.265) - You want to convert MOV to MP4 (Pro) ■ Compress to a target size (Target Size mode) Choose 10 MB, 25 MB, or 50 MB, and the app automatically works out the resolution, bitrate, and audio settings for you. No technical knowledge needed. - See the estimated size and resolution before compressing - Get a heads-up before compressing if the target is unrealistic - If the result exceeds the target, the app adjusts the settings where possible and compresses again - Pro lets you set any target from 1 to 500 MB in 1 MB steps Note: Some videos cannot be reduced to the size you specify. ■ Compress by quality (Quality mode) - Choose a resolution: 4K, Full HD, HD, SD, or 360p - Adjust the bitrate to balance quality against file size - Supports H.264 and HEVC (H.265) codecs - Pro adds resolution in 1% steps, frame rate changes, and muting audio ■ Compare before and after, then save View the original and compressed videos on one screen to check the quality before saving or sharing. Replace the original with the compressed version and tidy up your library to free up storage. Pro lets you play both videos simultaneously and delete the original right from the app. ■ Find videos quickly Thumbnails show file size, resolution, duration, file format, codec, and bitrate, so the largest videos are easy to spot. You can compress videos from the Files app (such as iCloud Drive) as well as your photo library. ■ Background compression On iOS 26 and later, compression keeps running when you switch to another app. On devices with a Dynamic Island, you can check the progress there. Note: Compression may be interrupted by system conditions or if you force quit the app. ■ On-device compression, no upload required All processing happens on your device. Your videos are never uploaded to an external server for compression. Videos stored on your device can be compressed offline. ■ Pro version (one-time purchase) Pro is a single purchase. There are no monthly or yearly fees. - Compress multiple videos at once - Set the target size in 1 MB steps - Set the resolution in 1% steps and change the frame rate - Mute audio for an even smaller file - Convert to MP4 - Keep the original date, time, and location (MOV output also keeps camera information) - Delete the original video from within the app - Play the original and compressed videos side by side - Sort by duration, width, height, and more - Filter by duration or file format (MP4 / MOV) - Customize the file name of compressed videos - No ads ■ How it works 1. Pick a video from the list 2. Choose a target size or a quality 3. Tap Compress 4. Compare before and after, then save or share ■ Requirements iPhone and iPad running iOS 15 or later Available since 2020 and trusted by users around the world. Questions or suggestions?

Pick your photo, drop it into a classic meme layout, type your line. Done in three taps — and export is always free, unlimited, and never watermarked. WHY MEMEPRESS Plenty of meme tools lock layouts and stamp watermarks unless you subscribe. MemePress goes the other way: • Export is free, unlimited, watermark-free. Forever. • Every layout, all 24 original stickers, the 24-colour palette and 4096px export are free too - no feature walls • No subscription, no account 6 CLASSIC LAYOUTS • Top & bottom text: bold white caps with black outline, auto-sized • Caption bar: white comment strip above your photo • Dark frame: black canvas, framed photo, serif headline • Speech labels: drop draggable text pills anywhere on the image • Two-panel: stack two photos for the classic comparison format • Text card: big type on a solid color, for text-only jokes HANDY EXTRAS • Bring in photos from your library, the camera, or the clipboard • Unlimited emoji stickers: drag, pinch, rotate, double-tap to front • Doodle pen with 3 sizes and 20+ steps of undo • Tap any text right on the canvas — the style bar sits above the keyboard • Pinch to reframe, rotate, flip — what you see is exactly what exports • Drafts save automatically so you can come back anytime ALSO FREE - NOT AN IN-APP PURCHASE 24 original vector stickers, a 24-colour palette, 4096px export, and 3 app icons. ABOUT THE ADS There is a single banner at the bottom of the screen. If you'd rather not see it, a one-time Remove Ads purchase takes it away. It buys you quiet - it does not unlock anything, because nothing is locked. YOURS ALONE Your memes, drafts and images stay on this phone - no upload, no account. Photos access is add-only, so your library is never read; the camera is used only when you choose to shoot. You bring your own images; there is no built-in image library. The one thing that needs a connection is the bottom banner ad, served by Google AdMob: non-personalized ads only, no cross-app tracking, and no "Allow tracking" prompt.
