Video Compressor

Read full description

Make a video small enough to send, then verify the final size before export. Shrinkr is an on-device video compressor built for real file limits. Choose an email, message, storage, or custom target. Shrinkr plans the compression, creates a separate copy, and shows the final bytes, duration, and dimensions. WHY SHRINKR - Aim for an exact file-size target in MB - Verify the result before saving or sharing - Compress privately on this device - Keep the original video unchanged - Export without a watermark - Trim, crop, or resize when needed - Unlock export once, with no subscription USE IT FOR - Email attachments and message size limits - Large camera clips and screen recordings - MP4 and MOV files - 4K and 1080p videos - Freeing up storage with a smaller copy Your first successful compression proof is available before the export unlock, so you can check the result first. Very small targets may require a shorter clip, lower resolution, or a larger limit. Output quality depends on the source video and selected target.

Storage full again? A lot of that space is the same photo, saved a few times over. Dupless finds the duplicates, near-identical shots and burst sequences piling up in your library. Nothing gets deleted without your say-so. And no photo ever leaves your device. YOU MAKE THE CALL Compare photos side by side and swipe to decide. Nothing is picked for you — you choose which shot to keep, and Dupless marks your pick so you don't lose track. Deletions go through the standard iOS confirmation and land in the Photos app's Recently Deleted, recoverable for 30 days. WHAT IT FINDS - Exact duplicates - Similar shots from the same moment - Burst sequences - Screenshots - Videos Scanning keeps running while the app is in the background. STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE All scanning and comparison happens on your device. No photo, and nothing derived from one, is ever sent anywhere. No account, no sign-in. The free version is ad-supported. Cleaning up burst sequences, screenshots and videos is always free — there's no limit. In duplicate and similar-photo groups the free version includes a limited number of deletes; the optional Pro subscription (monthly or yearly) removes all ads and lifts that limit. iPhone and iPad. Available in 46 languages. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
