Downsize

Downsize shrinks your videos and photos to fit any size limit ā email attachments, WhatsApp, Discord, upload forms ā without killing the quality. Set a target like 25 MB and Downsize does the math for you: it picks the right bitrate, compresses, then checks the real file size and automatically tries again if it's still too big. You get a file under your limit. Every time. Everything runs 100% on your iPhone. Your videos and photos never leave your device ā no uploads, no cloud, no account, no waiting on a server.

Video Compressor

Video Compressor makes big videos small ā quickly, privately, and without a single upload. Pick a video, choose how much you want to save, and it re-encodes right on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no server. Everything works offline. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Three clear choices instead of a wall of settings: ⢠Smaller File ā best for sharing and messaging ⢠Balanced ā great quality with a much smaller file ⢠Better Quality ā preserves more detail You always see the original size, an estimate before you start, and the exact final size when it is done. Then save to Photos or share anywhere. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT ⢠Every video is processed on your device ⢠Nothing is uploaded, ever ⢠No account, no login, no tracking ⢠Works in Airplane Mode ⢠The app only asks for permission to save ā never to read your library NO WATERMARKS Not on free videos. Not on any videos. PRO ā ONE-TIME PURCHASE Unlock everything once. It is not a subscription and never renews. ⢠Unlimited compression ⢠Target file size ā ask for 25 MB, get about 25 MB ⢠Batch compression for several videos at once ⢠4K and full-resolution output ⢠Advanced quality, resolution and codec controls (HEVC and H.264) ⢠Option to remove audio Every new user gets 3 compressions to try the app properly before deciding. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU SHOOT 4K and 60 fps, HDR, HEVC and H.264, portrait and landscape, slow motion and time-lapse, and clips with no audio. Orientation is always preserved, videos are never upscaled, and your originals are never modified.
