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.
