Your phone's storage is full and that 4K clip won't send. Video Compressor fixes both in seconds. Pick any video, choose how small you want it, and see the new size before you even start. Then save it back to your library or share it anywhere, with no quality you can see lost, no watermark slapped on top, and nothing uploaded to some stranger's server. Everything happens right on your iPhone. Tap one preset for a quick result, or open Advanced to dial in exactly what you want. SIMPLE: ONE TAP • High, Medium, or Low quality. Pick the trade-off and you're done. • Smart auto-tuning: screen recordings stay crisp, camera footage stays natural. • See the projected new size, and how much smaller it'll be, before you compress. ADVANCED: FULL CONTROL • Resolution up to 4K, or keep the original. • Choose your codec: H.265 for smaller files, H.264 for maximum compatibility. • Cap the frame rate (30/60 fps), switch the container (MP4/MOV), or drop the audio track. BATCH IN ONE GO • Select a stack of videos and compress them all at once. • Walk away, and every clip lands back in your library when it's done. FAST, PRIVATE, NO WATERMARK • On-device encoding with Apple's own video engine, so it's quick and battery-friendly. • Nothing ever leaves your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. • Never a watermark on your video. It stays yours. FREE TO START Your first compression is free. Upgrade to Video Compressor Pro for unlimited compressions and unlimited batches. VIDEO COMPRESSOR PRO • Unlimited compressions, so you never hit the free limit again. • Batch unlimited videos at once (the free plan covers up to 3).

Your videos are eating your storage. Deleting them hurts, and cloud plans add up — LeanVid opens a third way. It compresses videos by lowering only the bitrate while preserving quality (resolution, frame rate, color, HDR, and every track), then safely replaces the originals — but only after each result passes an integrity check. ■ MADE FOR YOU IF • You keep seeing "iPhone Storage Almost Full" • You can't bring yourself to delete family or travel videos • You'd rather not add another monthly fee just for more cloud storage ■ COMPRESSION THAT PROTECTS QUALITY • Lowers only the bitrate — resolution and frame rate stay untouched • Best-effort preservation of HDR (HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision compatible) and color information • Audio, subtitle, and metadata tracks are copied as-is (only audio that MP4 can't hold is converted to AAC) • Compare before and after with side-by-side, top-bottom, or slider playback — see for yourself, then decide • Detailed spec comparison: codec, bitrate, HDR, frame rate, and more ■ VIDEOS OUTSIDE YOUR PHOTO LIBRARY, TOO • Pick videos from the Files app (On My iPhone, iCloud Drive) and compress them • Files your iPhone can't play are handled by the built-in converter — MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, TS, MPG and VOB files with VP9, AV1, VP8, MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, Xvid, WMV or Motion JPEG video • Their audio (AAC, MP3, AC-3, Opus, Vorbis, WMA, PCM) is converted along with the video; subtitle tracks and iPhone spatial audio are not carried over • Replace the original file or save the result to your photo library ■ SAFEGUARDS FOR YOUR ORIGINALS • Replacement proceeds only after the result passes integrity verification • Deleting originals goes through the iOS system confirmation, and they stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days • A recovery journal safely rolls back interrupted work if the app quits mid-task • Compression history lets you re-compare or export anytime ■ SAVINGS THAT REPEAT EVERY MONTH • A lighter library lowers your cloud usage too • Once usage drops below a plan tier, downgrading one step saves you money automatically every month • Not a one-time cleanup — savings that show up on every bill ■ NO WAITING AROUND • Compression continues in the background (iOS 26+ devices; earlier versions pause and auto-resume) • Track progress from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities • Sort by size to start with the videos that free up the most space • Videos stored in iCloud are downloaded and processed automatically ■ PRIVACY • Everything happens on your device — no data about your videos is ever collected or transmitted • No contradiction: an app that cuts your cloud fees never uploads your videos to a cloud of its own • No account required About the permission it asks for LeanVid needs access to your photo library to find compressible videos and to replace originals after verification. Originals are deleted only with your confirmation. Videos from the Files app need no extra permission — only the files you pick are accessed.
