Make videos, photos, and audio smaller - privately, right on your iPhone. Minamise is a free, ad-free media compressor for shrinking files, converting formats, processing batches, and removing metadata. Your media stays on your device. SHRINK VIDEO FAST Choose High Efficiency (HEVC) for smaller files on modern devices, or Max Compatibility (H.264) when you need broad playback support. Set a quality level, choose a sharing destination, or aim for a target file size. COMPRESS AND CONVERT PHOTOS Convert images to JPEG, PNG, or HEIC. Compare before and after, then save the result where you need it. EXTRACT OR CONVERT AUDIO Extract audio from a video, or convert audio to MP3, M4A/AAC, WAV, FLAC, or Opus in OGG. BATCH FILES Select multiple files from Files or Photos and process them as a queue. Create more than one output format from a single compatible file. SHARE WITH MORE PRIVACY Remove location, EXIF, and container metadata. Use Strip Metadata Only when you want to remove metadata without re-encoding. FREE AND ON-DEVICE Every profile is available without ads or feature unlocks. Media is processed locally; Minamise does not upload it to a server. AV1 encoding is available as an experimental, software-based option and may take longer or use more battery. Dedicated to my little daughter/princess Mina.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FloatPlayer at none against Minamise's 3. Minamise's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
