About

Video File Compressor

Read full description

Compress Video is an iOS app for shrinking a video file on iPhone. It is a video file compressor: import one clip, set how small it should be, and export a smaller MP4 you can save or share. People use Compress Video when a recording is too large to send, too slow to upload, or is filling iPhone storage. Typical users have 4K camera-roll clips, slow-motion videos, or screen recordings that chat, email, and social uploads reject. Phone videos are huge. Deleting the only copy is a poor fix, and most people only need a smaller file. Compress Video does that job on the device. It re-encodes the clip to HEVC MP4, with controls for resolution, frame rate, and audio, so you can reduce the file size without a bitrate-preset maze. You see the original size next to the compressed size before you save. What this app does: use this app to compress a video file on iPhone without uploading it. FEATURES - Import one video from Photos, Files, the Share Sheet, or the Action extension - Trim a start-to-end range so unused footage is left out of the export - Set resolution, frame rate, and audio (keep, compress, or mute) - Compare the original and compressed file size before you save - Save the smaller file to Photos or share it - Encode on your iPhone โ€” the video is not uploaded for compression HOW TO USE 1. Open Compress Video and pick a clip, or share a video into the app. 2. Trim the timeline if you only need part of the recording. 3. Choose resolution, frame rate, and audio to control the file size. 4. Compress, then save to Photos or send the smaller file. USE CASES - Shrink a clip so it can go through chat or email - Reduce video size to reclaim storage from 4K, slow-motion, and screen recordings - Export a smaller file so an upload or backup finishes sooner PRIVACY Encoding stays on your device. Compress Video does not upload your video to compress it. PRICING A limited tier includes one saved project and a daily share limit. Premium in-app purchases unlock more than one saved project and remove the daily share limit. Download Compress Video and shrink the next clip on your iPhone.
