Video Compressor helps you turn large iPhone videos into smaller, more compatible MP4, HEVC, or MOV exports - and turn short clips into looping GIFs that play anywhere. Find large videos with Storage Clean, then choose whether to compress them or delete originals yourself. Use it when an iPhone clip is too large to send, a HEVC video will not play everywhere, an MP4/H.264 video should become a smaller HEVC export, or a short clip should become a GIF that loops forever with no video player needed. Pick a video, choose MP4/H.264, MP4/HEVC, MOV, or GIF, tune the output size, and export a copy that is easier to upload, message, email, or store. Core tools: - Convert HEVC videos to MP4/H.264 for compatibility - Convert MP4/H.264 videos to HEVC for smaller files - Turn videos into looping GIFs with Pro (up to 15 seconds) - Choose GIF smoothness (10, 15, or 20 FPS) and width for smaller GIFs - Export MOV copies for Apple workflows - Reduce video size for sharing - Compress HD and 4K videos locally on device - Choose simple quality presets for smaller files - Batch shrink multiple videos with Pro - Change video speed with Pro - Compress photos as a secondary tool - Compare original and exported file sizes - Save converted videos and GIFs back to Photos - Share smaller video exports from your iPhone Your media is processed on device.
