Video too large to send or upload? VidTools helps you make a smaller file and check the result before sharing. CHOOSE YOUR LIMIT Set a target file size or save a preset for an attachment or upload limit. Trim the part you need and compress it in one flow. See the actual output size and whether it fits your chosen limit. If a clip is still too large, trim it further or split it into smaller parts. PREVIEW BEFORE YOU SEND Compare the original and compressed video, then share the smaller file or save it to Photos or Files. Your original stays available. COMPRESS SEVERAL VIDEOS Select multiple clips and compress each to the same target in a queue. Import videos directly from the Photos or Files share sheet. MAKE VIDEOS READY TO SHARE Split, convert, resize, crop, trim, remove audio, fix rotation, and reframe. Convert HDR to SDR, export audio or GIFs, capture a frame, adjust playback speed, remove metadata, and inspect video details. PROCESS ON YOUR DEVICE Your videos are processed on your iPhone or iPad. No account or login is required. Every tool is available without a subscription. VidTools Pro is a one-time purchase that removes ads.
