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.
