Video Compressor makes big videos small enough to send, upload or keep — right on your iPhone. Pick a video, pick a quality, tap Compress. 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. PREMIUM • HEVC (H.265) for much smaller files, or H.264 for maximum compatibility • 4K and 1440p output • Batch compression: queue many videos, keeps running in the background • Editor: trim, rotate and flip before compressing • Save your own presets Premium is available weekly, yearly (with a free trial) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Compression runs 100% on device with Apple's video engine. No upload, no account, no ads, no watermark, no tracking. BUILT FOR iOS • Share Sheet: compress straight from Photos or Files • Shortcuts & Siri actions, Home Screen widget • History with before/after sizes and total space saved • Save to Photos or Files, optionally delete the original • Available in 12 languages Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
