Your phone is almost full, and it's mostly videos. Deleting feels wrong, but keeping everything isn't working either. Compression is a better answer β€” the moments stay, the storage comes back. Now you can batch-compress multiple videos in one flow, so you don’t have to repeat the same steps again and again. You can also still send a video directly from Photos, Files, or another app through the Share menu and continue when you return. Choose a compression option to get started quickly, or set your own target file size for a single video. Not sure about the result? Preview an 8-second sample before committing, then decide whether to continue. Once compressed, preview the result and save it to your Photo Library or Files. If the original was from your Photo Library and the new version is saved, you can delete the original right from the results screen. Everything is processed on your device β€” no server uploads, no account required.

Shrink a video to fit an upload limit, or take your location out of a photo before you post it. MediaKit does it on your iPhone, with more than 150 tools for video, audio, images, PDFs, archives, and ebooks in one app. YOUR FILES STAY ON YOUR IPHONE Every tool runs on the device, so your files are never uploaded and nothing is sent anywhere. There is no account to create, and MediaKit carries no analytics SDK or tracking. A scanned contract or a video of your kids never passes through someone else's server. SEE THE RESULT BEFORE YOU KEEP IT Before you tap Run, MediaKit estimates the output size and how much you will save. After the run it shows what you won back, like "Saved 1.4 GB Β· 85% smaller", and you can compare the result with the original side by side. Give video Compress a target size and it never goes over it. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ Video: compress, convert, trim, merge, and caption. MKV files open directly, with no converting first. Subtitles are transcribed on your iPhone, and Auto Subtitle can translate them into 9 languages (iOS 18 or later, once the language is downloaded). β€’ Audio: convert to M4A, WAV, AIFF, ALAC, or CAF, and level loudness to the EBU R128 standard. β€’ Photos: resize, compress, convert, and enhance, including HEIC and 10 camera RAW formats. Remove a background with Apple Vision. β€’ PDF: merge, split, sign, redact, OCR, and compress. Page numbers, watermarks, and signatures go on without turning your pages into pictures, so the text stays sharp and searchable. β€’ Archives: create and extract ZIP, TAR, XZ, and more, and open RAR4 and RAR5 files. Lock private files in a password-protected, AES-256 encrypted Apple Archive. β€’ Ebooks: convert DRM-free Kindle (MOBI, AZW3) and FictionBook (FB2) books to EPUB, PDF, or text. β€’ Privacy: strip location and author data from videos, audio, photos, and PDFs before you share them. FASTER THE NEXT TIME Make It Fit takes a target size or platform and picks the steps for you. Six Shortcuts actions let a Shortcut you already use compress a video, convert or compress an image, merge PDFs, create a ZIP, or read text from an image. Send files to MediaKit from the share sheet or pick them from Photos, and every result waits in your Library until you clear it. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO On iPhone Duo, Video, Audio, Image, and PDF get their own tabs in the side rail. Unfold it and tool settings spread into two columns. Pro Max models get the same wide layouts in landscape. START FREE Five tools stay free with no time limit: Video Compress, Image Compress, Image Resize, Audio Convert, and PDF Compress. For your first three days you can also use every Pro tool, one file at a time, without paying. Pro unlocks every tool, batch processing, and unlimited exports. Choose a monthly or annual plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The monthly and annual plans start with a 3-day free trial for eligible Apple Accounts. Family Sharing is included, and one purchase covers MediaKit on iPhone and Mac. MediaKit is built by one developer, and your questions reach that developer directly.
