Video Lite makes your videos smaller, so they're easy to send and stop eating up your storage. Pick a video, tap once, and Video Lite optimizes it automatically — no settings, no presets, nothing to figure out. Big videos are a hassle: they fail to send in messengers, fill up your device, and pile up from screen recordings. Video Lite re-encodes them to a much smaller size while keeping them looking great. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • One tap, no settings — just pick a video and tap Optimize • Dramatically smaller files, ideal for sharing and saving space • Works in the background — lock your device or switch apps and it keeps going, with progress in the Dynamic Island • Optimize many videos at once • Replace the original or keep a copy — your choice • Share optimized videos straight to Messages, Mail, AirDrop, and more • Skips videos that are already small, so nothing is wasted • Optimize straight from the Share sheet in other apps • Efficient HEVC encoding for the smallest size • Converts Apple Log footage to standard color (Rec.709) • Works on iPhone and iPad PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. Your videos are never uploaded, there are no accounts, no ads, and no tracking. GREAT FOR • Sending videos in messengers and chat apps • Freeing up storage on your device • Shrinking large screen recordings • Clearing space before a backup Pick a video. Tap once. Done.
