Feather makes your videos smaller — entirely on your device. Pick a video from your library, choose a quality preset, and get a smaller copy saved back to Photos. No uploads. No accounts. No tracking. Everything happens on your device. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a video from your library — or send one via the share sheet • Choose High, Medium, or Low quality • Preview the result before saving • Save the compressed copy back to Photos, or discard it Your original is never touched. You decide whether to keep or delete it after reviewing the compressed version. PRESETS YOU CONTROL • High Quality — 1080p, great for the big screen • Medium Quality — 720p, the sweet spot between size and clarity • Low Quality — 480p, smallest files for quick sharing Every preset uses HEVC by default for smaller files. In Settings, you can switch individual presets to H.264 for wider playback support and fine-tune resolution, frame rate, audio, and target bitrate. BATCH COMPRESSION Compress multiple videos in a single queue: • Queue unlimited videos and let Feather compress them in the background • Keep using other apps while the queue runs • Track every job from a single dashboard LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND Watch compression progress from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island without opening the app. Batch jobs show "3 of 8" progress at a glance.
