VidZip is the video compressor built for iPhone. Shrink your videos by up to 85% without visible quality loss ā 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. āŗ THREE QUALITY PRESETS Pick how aggressively to compress: ⢠High Quality ā ~50% smaller, near-lossless ⢠Balanced ā ~70% smaller, visually identical to most eyes ⢠Space Saver ā ~85% smaller, maximum shrinkage āŗ 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. āŗ 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. āŗ KEEPS YOUR RESOLUTION VidZip lowers bitrate, not resolution. Your 4K video stays 4K ā just smaller. No ugly downscaling, no soft picture, no surprise quality loss. āŗ NO WATERMARK, EVER Other free compressors stamp their logo on your video. VidZip never will. Clean output, always, even in the free version. āŗ 100% ON-DEVICE Every byte is processed locally on your iPhone. Nothing uploads to any server ā there is no server.

Video Compressor makes big videos small ā quickly, privately, and without a single upload. Pick a video, choose how much you want to save, and it re-encodes right on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no server. Everything works offline. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Three clear choices instead of a wall of settings: ⢠Smaller File ā best for sharing and messaging ⢠Balanced ā great quality with a much smaller file ⢠Better Quality ā preserves more detail You always see the original size, an estimate before you start, and the exact final size when it is done. Then save to Photos or share anywhere. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT ⢠Every video is processed on your device ⢠Nothing is uploaded, ever ⢠No account, no login, no tracking ⢠Works in Airplane Mode ⢠The app only asks for permission to save ā never to read your library NO WATERMARKS Not on free videos. Not on any videos. PRO ā ONE-TIME PURCHASE Unlock everything once. It is not a subscription and never renews. ⢠Unlimited compression ⢠Target file size ā ask for 25 MB, get about 25 MB ⢠Batch compression for several videos at once ⢠4K and full-resolution output ⢠Advanced quality, resolution and codec controls (HEVC and H.264) ⢠Option to remove audio Every new user gets 3 compressions to try the app properly before deciding. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU SHOOT 4K and 60 fps, HDR, HEVC and H.264, portrait and landscape, slow motion and time-lapse, and clips with no audio. Orientation is always preserved, videos are never upscaled, and your originals are never modified.
