Glassify converts your video on-device to the exact format Instagram expects, so the compression barely touches it. • Pick any video from your library • One-tap optimization, fully on-device • See what will change before you convert • Save to Photos or send straight to Instagram • Made for Reels, Stories and Feed Glassify Pro unlocks unlimited optimizations with a monthly or yearly subscription. Subscription Terms Glassify Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (Pro Monthly or Pro Yearly, shown with price and duration before purchase). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Your Status should look as good as the moment you captured. Every photo and video you post to Status gets re-compressed on the way. Videos go blurry, text goes soft, colors fade and skies turn into stripes. HD Status is the way around it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your photo or video in HD Status. 2. Trim it, crop it and add a caption if you like. 3. It lands in your own chat at full quality. Forward it to your Status from there, and the quality survives. WHAT YOU GET • Full quality: photos up to 2048 px and videos up to 1080p, never upscaled and never squashed on the way through. • Trim videos: cut to the part that matters. A shorter clip keeps more detail. • Crop for Status: square, 4:5 or full-screen 9:16. • Captions: write it once, and it travels with the photo or video. • HDR done right: iPhone HDR recordings come out vivid, not washed out. • Send several at once, without doing them one by one. • Free every day: 2 full-quality sends a day, on the house. • One-tap setup: no account, no password, no number to type. MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO SELL AND CREATE ON STATUS Makeup artists, event planners, content creators and small businesses: when customers judge your work by your Status, it should look as sharp as the real thing. PRIVATE BY DESIGN You activate by sending one message. That message proves the number is yours, and it is the only number HD Status can ever send to. We never ask you to type your number, and we can't message anyone but you. FREE OR PREMIUM Everyone gets 2 free sends every day. Free sends carry a small mark and are supported by ads. Premium removes both: • No watermark • No ads • 50 sends a day • Up to 5 at a time Weekly, monthly and yearly plans are available, and new subscribers can start the weekly plan with a 3-day free trial. Prices and lengths are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Requires WhatsApp. HD Status is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by WhatsApp or Meta.
