Make a video small enough to send. Your iPhone shoots gorgeous 4K. Your email won't take it. Squish fixes that in two taps. PICK A SIZE, GET THAT SIZE Choose 25 MB for email, 16 MB for WhatsApp, 10 MB for Discord, or type your own number. Most compressors hand you a 27 MB file when you asked for 25. Squish encodes, measures the result on disk, and re-encodes until it genuinely comes in under the number you picked. OR JUST MAKE IT SMALLER Not sending it anywhere in particular? Pick a quality level instead and Squish chooses sensible settings for you. BUILT FOR WHAT YOUR IPHONE ACTUALLY RECORDS - 4K, 60 fps, HDR and ProRes all handled - Portrait video stays portrait. Squish writes upright pixels rather than a rotation flag, so your video plays the right way up everywhere, including on players that ignore rotation - HDR is tone mapped to standard colour so the result plays on any device, not only recent iPhones - H.264 by default for maximum compatibility, HEVC when you want it smaller still TRIM FIRST Cutting four seconds off the front saves more than any bitrate setting can. Scrub the filmstrip, set your in and out points, and Squish only encodes what you keep. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No uploads. No servers. No account. No ads. No tracking. Squish cannot even read your photo library. You hand it the videos you pick, and it asks permission only to save the finished file back. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UNLOCK The whole app is free, and that means the whole app: exact size targeting, 4K, trim, every option. Free use covers three videos a day. A one-time Lifetime Unlock lifts the daily limit and lets you compress up to 12 videos at once. One payment, no subscription, ever.
