Make a video small enough to send, then verify the final size before export. Shrinkr is an on-device video compressor built for real file limits. Choose an email, message, storage, or custom target. Shrinkr plans the compression, creates a separate copy, and shows the final bytes, duration, and dimensions. WHY SHRINKR - Aim for an exact file-size target in MB - Verify the result before saving or sharing - Compress privately on this device - Keep the original video unchanged - Export without a watermark - Trim, crop, or resize when needed - Unlock export once, with no subscription USE IT FOR - Email attachments and message size limits - Large camera clips and screen recordings - MP4 and MOV files - 4K and 1080p videos - Freeing up storage with a smaller copy Your first successful compression proof is available before the export unlock, so you can check the result first. Very small targets may require a shorter clip, lower resolution, or a larger limit. Output quality depends on the source video and selected target.
