Squeeze helps you free up storage on your iPhone and iCloud by compressing large videos in your Photos library — while keeping the memories that matter. Squeeze is designed to preserve important original metadata after compression, including date, location, and lens information. Your compressed videos can stay easier to organize in your Photos library, and you can decide whether to keep or remove the originals after compression. Start quickly with built-in compression options, or create your own preset. Customize resolution, frame rate, codec, bitrate, and format to match your needs — whether you want smaller files, smoother playback, or better quality.
