Fexo Video Compressor shrinks big videos down to the exact size you need — right on your iPhone, with no watermark and nothing uploaded anywhere. Every video is re-encoded on your device using Apple's own hardware encoder, so your footage never leaves your phone and never touches a server. Choose a target file size, a quality level, a resolution, or a ready-made preset for the app you're sending to, and watch the smaller copy save straight back to your library. Fexo gives you real control instead of guesswork. See the estimated output size before you start, compress one clip or a whole batch at once, then flip between the original and the compressed result side by side to confirm it still looks great. KEY FEATURES - Pick one video or many from Photos for fast batch compression - Compress by target file size, quality, resolution, bitrate, frame rate, or automatic smart mode - One-tap presets for the apps and platforms you share to most, plus a custom mode - Trim the start and end before compressing, with live preview - Keep or remove the audio track - Live estimated output size shown before you begin - Batch queue with real-time per-file progress - Before and after compare screen with an A/B toggle player - Save back to Photos or export through the share sheet - Rename the output file before compressing - Compression history with thumbnails, before and after sizes, and percent saved - A local notification the moment each job finishes Why choose Fexo: it is fully offline, adds no watermark, and uses on-device hardware encoding for fast, private results.
