Big videos are a pain to send. HD Smart Video Compressor makes them small in one tap, without asking you to understand bitrates. Pick a video and the app reads it, works out the best settings for that particular file and shows you the size it will end up at — before you commit. Tap once and you get a much smaller video that still looks sharp on a phone screen. WHAT YOU GET • A clear before and after: 48 MB becomes 9 MB, saves 81% • One tap to compress, then save to Photos or share anywhere • Standard MP4 files that play on any phone, computer or website • Sound and orientation kept, nothing turned sideways • Works offline, no account, no sign-up PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your videos are compressed on your iPhone. They are never uploaded to a server and never seen by anyone but you. GOOD FOR • Emailing a clip that is over the attachment limit • Making room on your phone • Uploading to sites with a file size cap • Sending videos without waiting on a slow upload FREE EVERY DAY Compress three videos a day for free. If that is not enough, one small one-time purchase removes the limit permanently. No subscription, nothing to cancel. Available in 32 languages. Questions or ideas? video-compress@bechample.com
