Read full description

Video Compressor makes big videos small enough to send, upload or keep, and it does the work on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded and nothing gets a watermark. Pick a video and decide how small it should be. Tap a quick size made for a Discord upload (10 MB or 20 MB), a WhatsApp video (16 MB) or an email attachment (15 MB), set your own exact size in megabytes, or simply choose Smaller, Balanced or High quality. You see the estimated size before you start and the real saving when it's done. If a long clip can't get that small, the app says so, and you can trim it. - Trim to the part you need with a simple start and end - Turn on HEVC for smaller files at similar quality, or keep H.264, which plays almost everywhere - Resize to 1080p, 720p or 480p, or keep the original resolution - Remove the audio track to save even more - Get an MP4 that is ready to share - Compress up to 10 videos in one go Running low on storage? Free up space lists the largest videos in your photo library. Compress the ones you want to keep, save the smaller copy with its original date and location, then delete the original if you like. iOS asks you to confirm, and deleted videos go to Recently Deleted first. You can compress any video and preview the result for free. Exact sizes, quick sizes, 1080p and original resolution, and batch compression are premium features. This app is free to try. A single one-time purchase unlocks saving and sharing your compressed videos and all premium features, forever, with no subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Restore your purchase any time from the app settings.
