Video Compressor vs Unrato

Your videos are eating your storage. Deleting them hurts, and cloud plans add up — LeanVid opens a third way. It compresses videos by lowering only the bitrate while preserving quality (resolution, frame rate, color, HDR, and every track), then safely replaces the originals — but only after each result passes an integrity check. ■ MADE FOR YOU IF • You keep seeing "iPhone Storage Almost Full" • You can't bring yourself to delete family or travel videos • You'd rather not add another monthly fee just for more cloud storage ■ COMPRESSION THAT PROTECTS QUALITY • Lowers only the bitrate — resolution and frame rate stay untouched • Best-effort preservation of HDR (HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision compatible) and color information • Audio, subtitle, and metadata tracks are copied as-is (only audio that MP4 can't hold is converted to AAC) • Compare before and after with side-by-side, top-bottom, or slider playback — see for yourself, then decide • Detailed spec comparison: codec, bitrate, HDR, frame rate, and more ■ VIDEOS OUTSIDE YOUR PHOTO LIBRARY, TOO • Pick videos from the Files app (On My iPhone, iCloud Drive) and compress them • Files your iPhone can't play are handled by the built-in converter — MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, TS, MPG and VOB files with VP9, AV1, VP8, MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, Xvid, WMV or Motion JPEG video • Their audio (AAC, MP3, AC-3, Opus, Vorbis, WMA, PCM) is converted along with the video; subtitle tracks and iPhone spatial audio are not carried over • Replace the original file or save the result to your photo library ■ SAFEGUARDS FOR YOUR ORIGINALS • Replacement proceeds only after the result passes integrity verification • Deleting originals goes through the iOS system confirmation, and they stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days • A recovery journal safely rolls back interrupted work if the app quits mid-task • Compression history lets you re-compare or export anytime ■ SAVINGS THAT REPEAT EVERY MONTH • A lighter library lowers your cloud usage too • Once usage drops below a plan tier, downgrading one step saves you money automatically every month • Not a one-time cleanup — savings that show up on every bill ■ NO WAITING AROUND • Compression continues in the background (iOS 26+ devices; earlier versions pause and auto-resume) • Track progress from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities • Sort by size to start with the videos that free up the most space • Videos stored in iCloud are downloaded and processed automatically ■ PRIVACY • Everything happens on your device — no data about your videos is ever collected or transmitted • No contradiction: an app that cuts your cloud fees never uploads your videos to a cloud of its own • No account required About the permission it asks for LeanVid needs access to your photo library to find compressible videos and to replace originals after verification. Originals are deleted only with your confirmation. Videos from the Files app need no extra permission — only the files you pick are accessed.

Some photos only matter for a while Parking spots, pickup codes, Wi‑Fi passwords, receipts, tickets, room numbers, whiteboards, and screenshots can be useful right now—and unnecessary a few hours or days later. But they often stay in Photos long after you are done with them. Unrato is built for that temporary media. Set a lifetime when you capture or import a photo, video, or screenshot. Keep it easy to find while it matters, then review it for cleanup when it expires. Decide how long to keep it when you capture it Use the Unrato camera for temporary photos and videos, and choose an expiry before you capture. You can also: - Import photos and videos from Photos - Send screenshots, photos, and videos to Unrato from the iOS share sheet Instead of cleaning everything up later, give temporary media a lifetime from the beginning. Review expired media in one place Unrato separates media that is still in use from media that is ready to clear. See: - Temporary media still in use - Items ready to clear - Item counts - Reclaimable storage Clear one item, select several, or start a cleanup request for multiple items. Unrato never deletes your photos without your approval. iOS presents the system Photos confirmation before deletion. Turn useful text into a Temp Card Sometimes the important part of a photo is not the whole image—it is one small piece of information inside it. After taking a photo, use on-device text recognition to extract useful information such as: - Pickup codes - Wi‑Fi passwords - Parking details - Trips - Addresses - Room numbers - Other temporary text Turn it into a compact Temp Card, give it an expiry, mark it complete, or pin it to a widget. That way, the information you need stays easy to see without repeatedly opening Photos. Capture from wherever you are Unrato provides several quick ways to get to temporary media: - Quick camera button in the app - Home Screen app icon quick action - Lock Screen widget - Control Center control - Home Screen widgets - iOS share sheet The goal is simple: when temporary information appears, saving it should take as few steps as possible. Stays connected to Apple Photos Original photos and videos captured with Unrato remain in Apple Photos, so they continue to work with your other apps. With Full Photos Access, Unrato can reconcile items deleted or restored in Photos and avoid repeatedly importing the same library asset when possible. Recently Deleted retention and recovery remain under iOS control.
