You see the estimated file size before you start, and nothing ever leaves your device. WHY PEOPLE USE IT • Video too large for email, messaging apps, chat servers or a web upload form • iPhone storage full of 4K clips • Need an MP4/MOV under a size limit (e.g. 25 MB) fast HOW IT WORKS • Medium — 720p, great for sharing (free) • Small Size — 480p, smallest file (free) • High Quality — same resolution, lighter bitrate (Premium) • Custom — choose bitrate, resolution, frame rate, codec and audio (Premium) Typical results: 50–90% smaller files with quality that still looks sharp on a phone.
