Smaller videos. Same moments. A few phone videos can swallow half your storage. Fast Compressor shrinks them on your iPhone, in seconds, and gives the space back. No sign-up. No upload. No watermark. SEE THE SIZE BEFORE YOU PICK Most pickers hide the one number that matters. Ours puts the file size on every thumbnail. Sort your library biggest-first, hide anything under 200 MB, or search by file name — then compress the videos that are actually costing you space. THREE QUALITY LEVELS • High — 1080p, for videos you want to keep looking sharp • Balanced — 720p, the sweet spot for sharing (default) • Small — 540p, for the tightest possible file HEVC ON BY DEFAULT H.265 encoding squeezes out another 25–40% at the same quality. Turn it off in one tap if you need maximum compatibility. FREE UP THE SPACE FOR REAL Compressing only helps if the big original goes away. After compressing, one button saves the small version to Photos and another deletes the originals — so the gigabytes actually come back. SHARE STRAIGHT FROM PHOTOS Found a video in Photos? Tap Share, choose Fast Compressor, and carry on in the app. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Compression runs on your device, offline, with no servers and no account. Your videos are never uploaded. Compressed files are cleared from the app when you close the results, so nothing piles up behind your back. BUILT FOR iOS 26 Native SwiftUI with Liquid Glass throughout. Live progress per video and for the whole queue. The screen stays awake while a long video finishes. WHAT YOU GET FREE • Compress videos, one at a time • All three quality levels and HEVC • Save to Photos and delete originals • Supported by a small banner ad FAST COMPRESSOR PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Compress a whole batch in one go • No ads • Pay once, no subscription

Fast Compressor's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
