Your best moments should not consume all your iPhone storage. Squeezy helps you find large videos, reduce their file size, and keep more room for what comes next. WHY SQUEEZY • Smart Shrink surfaces eligible large videos that have not already been processed by Squeezy. • Batch compression lets Pro users process multiple videos in one organized queue. • Flexible presets balance output size, resolution, and visual quality. • Live progress, interruption-safe queues, and safe cancellation keep you in control. • Thermal-aware processing reduces sustained device load during longer jobs. QUALITY & COMPATIBILITY Squeezy uses Apple's media frameworks and hardware-accelerated HEVC workflows where supported. It supports 4K and compatible 10-bit HDR workflows, preserving compatible color metadata. Compression results vary with duration, motion, source codec, and selected preset. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video processing happens locally on your device. Your videos are not uploaded to our servers. Photo Library permission is used only to select, process, save, or replace videos you choose. FREE & PRO Single-video compression is available to everyone. Batch compression, advanced controls, and other premium tools require Squeezy Pro.

Running out of storage? Downsize finds the photos and videos eating the most space and shrinks them — right on your iPhone, without deleting a single memory or sending anything to the cloud. Everything happens on your device. Your photos never leave your iPhone, your originals are never changed, and you stay in control. HOW IT WORKS • Browse your library sorted largest-first, so the biggest space hogs are right at the top. • Select the photos and videos you want to shrink — or drag to select a whole range at once. • Choose how to optimize: resize, adjust quality, or convert to more efficient formats. • Downsize saves a smaller copy and leaves your original exactly as it was. CONTROLS THAT RESPECT YOU • Photos: HEIC or JPEG, quality presets, and resize by percentage or resolution. • Videos: HEVC or H.264, resolution, frame rate, and audio options. • Live Photos: keep them live, or convert to a still. • HDR videos stay HDR. • Compare before and after — side by side or with a slider — and pinch to zoom in on the detail. • Filter by favorites and by size, and see exactly how much space each item uses. • Metadata is yours: keep it, remove location only, or strip all optional data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • All processing runs on your device — your media is never uploaded and we never see it. • No account required. • Your originals are never modified, and deleting anything is always a separate, explicit choice. DOWNSIZE PRO Unlock unlimited photo and video optimization and remove ads with a single one-time purchase — no subscription. Free up space, keep your memories, stay private. That's Downsize.
