ClearStatus makes your WhatsApp Status videos look the way you shot them — crisp, clear, full-HD — instead of the blurry, pixelated mess you get after they're re-compressed on upload. It works for any social media app that squashes your video quality, too. WHY YOUR VIDEOS LOOK BAD When a video is too large, WhatsApp (and other apps) re-encodes it down to a low-quality version before posting. ClearStatus prepares your clip so it fits the size these apps forward untouched — so it uploads without that second round of compression. WHAT CLEARSTATUS DOES • Full-HD output — keeps 1080p quality wherever the size budget allows • Fixes blur and pixelation caused by upload re-compression • Auto-splits long videos into perfectly sized 30 / 60 / 90-second parts — ideal for WhatsApp Status • Works for other social apps too — post crisp videos anywhere • Fixes orientation and preserves the full frame — no cropping, no upside-down clips • HDR footage is tone-mapped correctly, so colors don't wash out • 100% on-device — your videos never leave your phone, nothing is uploaded to any server FREE TO USE Convert as many videos as you like for free. Clips made for free carry ClearStatus's own small "Made with ClearStatus" tag in the corner. Before a video is processed, you choose: turn the ClearStatus tag off for good with a single payment, watch one short ad to export that whole video without it, or subscribe monthly or yearly — the yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial. Cancel anytime. (ClearStatus only adds, and turns off, its own tag. It never removes logos, text or watermarks that are already in a video.) ABOUT THE ADS The only ad in ClearStatus is the rewarded video you choose to watch — nothing interrupts you, and there are no banners. Ads come from Google AdMob, which receives device and ad identifiers to serve and measure them. They're requested non-personalized, and nothing about your videos is ever shared. Premium members see no ads at all. Private by design. No account, no sign-in, and no tracking across other apps or websites. Anonymous usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase) help us improve the app; nothing about your videos is ever collected.

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.
