Pick one clip or an entire batch, choose the result you want, and keep the smaller copy. WHY MINIMO • Private by design: compression stays on your device • Batch processing: shrink several videos in one run • Simple presets: high, medium, or low quality • Advanced controls: choose resolution and keep or remove audio • Clear estimates and live compression progress • Save results to Photos or share them immediately • Originals stay untouched unless you explicitly choose to delete them NO CLOUD. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO CLUTTER. minimo is free and open source. It does one job: reclaim space without making you hand your videos to somebody else's server. Lighter videos. Moments stay.

VidZip is the video compressor built for iPhone. Shrink your videos by up to 85% without visible quality loss — reclaim storage, fit videos under email and messaging limits, and share faster. All processing happens on your device. No uploads, no accounts, no watermark, ever. ► THREE QUALITY PRESETS Pick how aggressively to compress: • High Quality — ~50% smaller, near-lossless • Balanced — ~70% smaller, visually identical to most eyes • Space Saver — ~85% smaller, maximum shrinkage ► TARGET SIZE MODE (PRO) Need a video under 25 MB for email, or under 100 MB for upload? Enter an exact file size and VidZip calculates the right bitrate to hit it. No guessing, no trial and error. ► BATCH PROCESSING (PRO) Compress 10, 20, or more videos at once. Drop in a whole trip's worth of footage and let it run. Each video shows its own progress and result. ► KEEPS YOUR RESOLUTION VidZip lowers bitrate, not resolution. Your 4K video stays 4K — just smaller. No ugly downscaling, no soft picture, no surprise quality loss. ► NO WATERMARK, EVER Other free compressors stamp their logo on your video. VidZip never will. Clean output, always, even in the free version. ► 100% ON-DEVICE Every byte is processed locally on your iPhone. Nothing uploads to any server — there is no server.
