Shrink it. Send it. It never leaves your phone. Your video is too big to send โ€” WhatsApp won't take it, email bounces it back. Shrinkora makes it fit. Pick the video, pick where it's going, and it's done. MADE TO FIT Choose WhatsApp, iMessage, Email, Discord, or a custom size in megabytes. Shrinkora computes an encode that lands under that limit โ€” guaranteed โ€” or tells you honestly before you commit if it can't without dropping quality too far. PROOF BEFORE YOU COMMIT See the exact result size and a before/after quality preview first. No surprises, no wasted waiting. IT NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE Every compression runs on your device's own hardware encoder. Shrinkora has no network access at all โ€” there's no way for a video to be uploaded, even by accident. App Privacy: Data Not Collected. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO TRAPS. No ad ever covers the compress button. No account, no login. No access to browse your library โ€” the system picker hands over just the one video you choose. WHAT YOU GET - Fit any destination's size limit, or set your own target - Before/after quality preview with the exact output size - H.264 for maximum compatibility, or HEVC for smaller files - Saves the smaller copy back to Photos; your original stays untouched - A running tally of the space you've reclaimed FREE TO START 3 free compressions at full quality, no watermark. Shrinkora Pro unlocks unlimited compressions and every destination, including custom megabyte targets. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase โ€” no free trial, no card tricks. The Monthly and Yearly plans renew automatically. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, and renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and never renews.
