VideoRecord vs Video Compressor

Pause and resume video recording without starting over. Record in flexible segments, switch cameras between takes, and add customizable date, time, GPS, and address watermarks before exporting one finished video. Review your segments, retake mistakes, trim clips, customize your watermark, and export again whenever you want. VideoRecord makes it easy to create complete videos one part at a time. ◉ PAUSE & RESUME RECORDING Record naturally without trying to get everything right in one take. • Pause recording at any time • Resume when you’re ready • Keep every recorded segment in your project • See previous segments while recording • Retake the most recent segment without starting over ◉ DATE, TIME, GPS & ADDRESS WATERMARKS Add useful information directly to your exported videos. • Add date and time watermarks • Add GPS coordinates • Add a readable location address • Choose from multiple date, time, coordinate, and address formats • Place watermarks in nine different positions • Customize font, size, color, and opacity • Adjust watermark background opacity • Change watermark settings and export another version • Optionally remember your export settings for future projects ◉ SWITCH CAMERAS BETWEEN SEGMENTS Need to show yourself, then show what you’re looking at? Pause your recording, switch between the front and back cameras, choose the lens you want, and continue recording in the same project. ◉ EDIT BEFORE YOU EXPORT Review your project before creating the final video. • Play individual segments • Trim the beginning or end of a segment • Mute individual segments • Reorder segments • Retake the last segment • Rename or duplicate projects ◉ EXPORT THE WAY YOU WANT Turn all your recorded segments into one finished video. Choose from: • Original • 16:9 landscape • 9:16 vertical • 1:1 square Save finished videos to Photos or Files, or share them directly. Keep your original project and create another export later with different watermark or export settings. ◉ USEFUL CAMERA TOOLS • Front and back camera support • Multiple camera lenses • Resolution and frame-rate controls • Camera grid • Level indicator • Video stabilization • AE/AF lock and exposure controls • Project-based recording • Exported video library ◉ PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Your recordings stay on your device unless you choose to save, share, or export them. ◉ AVAILABLE AROUND THE WORLD VideoRecord is localized for users across 37 languages. Record a little. Pause. Continue later. Add the details you need. Finish with one video.

Your videos are eating your storage. Deleting them hurts, and cloud plans add up — LeanVid opens a third way. It compresses videos by lowering only the bitrate while preserving quality (resolution, frame rate, color, HDR, and every track), then safely replaces the originals — but only after each result passes an integrity check. ■ MADE FOR YOU IF • You keep seeing "iPhone Storage Almost Full" • You can't bring yourself to delete family or travel videos • You'd rather not add another monthly fee just for more cloud storage ■ COMPRESSION THAT PROTECTS QUALITY • Lowers only the bitrate — resolution and frame rate stay untouched • Best-effort preservation of HDR (HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision compatible) and color information • Audio, subtitle, and metadata tracks are copied as-is (only audio that MP4 can't hold is converted to AAC) • Compare before and after with side-by-side, top-bottom, or slider playback — see for yourself, then decide • Detailed spec comparison: codec, bitrate, HDR, frame rate, and more ■ VIDEOS OUTSIDE YOUR PHOTO LIBRARY, TOO • Pick videos from the Files app (On My iPhone, iCloud Drive) and compress them • Files your iPhone can't play are handled by the built-in converter — MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, TS, MPG and VOB files with VP9, AV1, VP8, MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, Xvid, WMV or Motion JPEG video • Their audio (AAC, MP3, AC-3, Opus, Vorbis, WMA, PCM) is converted along with the video; subtitle tracks and iPhone spatial audio are not carried over • Replace the original file or save the result to your photo library ■ SAFEGUARDS FOR YOUR ORIGINALS • Replacement proceeds only after the result passes integrity verification • Deleting originals goes through the iOS system confirmation, and they stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days • A recovery journal safely rolls back interrupted work if the app quits mid-task • Compression history lets you re-compare or export anytime ■ SAVINGS THAT REPEAT EVERY MONTH • A lighter library lowers your cloud usage too • Once usage drops below a plan tier, downgrading one step saves you money automatically every month • Not a one-time cleanup — savings that show up on every bill ■ NO WAITING AROUND • Compression continues in the background (iOS 26+ devices; earlier versions pause and auto-resume) • Track progress from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities • Sort by size to start with the videos that free up the most space • Videos stored in iCloud are downloaded and processed automatically ■ PRIVACY • Everything happens on your device — no data about your videos is ever collected or transmitted • No contradiction: an app that cuts your cloud fees never uploads your videos to a cloud of its own • No account required About the permission it asks for LeanVid needs access to your photo library to find compressible videos and to replace originals after verification. Originals are deleted only with your confirmation. Videos from the Files app need no extra permission — only the files you pick are accessed.
