Video Squeeze

Features
Read full description

Video Squeeze makes big videos small - quickly, privately, and entirely on your device. Recording in 4K and 60 fps eats up bandwidth and makes clips too large to send. Video Squeeze shrinks them to share-ready sizes in seconds, with no uploads to any server. PICK A GOAL, NOT SETTINGS Choose a simple preset and the app picks the right resolution, frame rate, and bitrate for you: • Messages - small files that send easily • Social post & Stories/Reels - clean uploads without huge files • Email-friendly - compact files for quick attachments • Bypass limits - shrink clips to fit strict file size restrictions • Keep 4K detail - preserve quality for big screens SEE THE SIZE BEFORE YOU COMMIT Get an estimated file size for each preset before compressing - no surprises. TRIM TO THE MOMENT Scrub through your clip and set the exact start and end. Export only the part you need. EXTRACT AUDIO Save just the soundtrack as MP3 or Ogg. H.264 OR HEVC Use H.264 for maximum compatibility, or HEVC for even smaller files. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. No account, no uploads, no tracking, no watermark. Want full control? Build your own presets with exact resolution, frame rate, and bitrate. Video Squeeze is free. If it saves you time, an optional tip helps keep it maintained.
