Big videos are a pain to send. HD Smart Video Compressor makes them small in one tap, without asking you to understand bitrates. Pick a video and the app reads it, works out the best settings for that particular file, and shows you the size it will end up at โ before you commit. Tap once and you get a much smaller video that still looks sharp on a phone screen. GOOD FOR โข Emailing a clip that is over the attachment limit โข Freeing up space before a trip โข Uploading to sites with a file size cap โข Sending videos without waiting on a slow upload
