Heavy videos fill your iPhone. Videosio finds them and makes them smaller. How it works: scan your library to see your videos sorted by size, biggest first. Pick one, choose a resolution and quality, and compress it on your iPhone. See the size before you start. When it's done, compare the original and the compressed video side by side or full screen, then save the smaller copy. Key features: - Library scan sorted by video size - On-device compression with HEVC, or H.264 where HEVC isn't available - Resolution and quality settings with an estimated size before you start - Before and after sizes on every result - Full-screen compare: switch between original and compressed at the same moment, pinch to zoom - Saved copies keep the original date and place - Duplicate video detection - Compression history in the Library tab Preview vs Pro: scan, compress, and compare the result before paying. Saving the compressed copy to Photos, sharing it, and removing originals or duplicates require a Pro subscription, Weekly or Yearly. Subscription terms: payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in iPhone Settings under your name, then Subscriptions. Videosio was previously called VidQing.
