Your videos are probably the biggest thing on your iPhone. TinyVideo finds them, shrinks them, and gives you your storage back. See what's taking up space Browse every video in your library, sorted and filtered so the biggest ones are easy to spot. See exactly how much space you can free before you compress anything. Pick a quality, see the result first - Smaller: 540p, frees the most space - Balanced: 1080p, sharp enough to keep - Higher: higher bitrate, closest to the original Estimates get more accurate the more you use the app, because TinyVideo learns how much each quality level actually shrinks your videos. Private by design Compression runs entirely on your iPhone. Your videos are never uploaded, and there's no account to create. You stay in control Keep your originals, or remove them once the compressed copy is saved. Removed originals go to Recently Deleted in Photos, so you can recover them for 30 days. Free vs. Pro Free: compress up to 3 videos a day, one at a time, up to 500 MB each. Pro: unlimited compression, whole batches at once, videos of any size, and every quality level. TinyVideo Pro subscription - Yearly: $29.99 per year - Weekly: $5.99 per week Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. Prices may vary by region.
