Too big to send? Shrink it before sharing with SendSqueeze. Choose where a video is going—WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, LINE, email, Discord, social, or storage—and SendSqueeze applies a matching target, resolution, bitrate, and codec. If the real output misses a target size, SendSqueeze automatically retries with a lower bitrate. ■ Destination presets and send actions Pick a ready-made destination. The result screen checks the actual output size and shows a destination-specific button such as Send to WhatsApp. That button opens the iOS share sheet, where you choose the app and conversation. ■ Hide detected faces Detected-face privacy is on by default when you open video presets. Apply blur, mosaic, or emoji, review a representative-frame preview, and play the final video before sending. If face detection fails, SendSqueeze does not report an unprotected compressed file as a successful result. ■ Start from the Photos share menu Open SendSqueeze from the Photos share menu, then choose a KakaoTalk or WhatsApp preset plus face blur or mosaic. ■ Add a watermark and fine-tune output Customize watermark text, color, size, position, background, and opacity. You can also adjust resolution, bitrate, H.264/H.265, frame rate, and audio removal. ■ Review before sharing See original and compressed sizes, savings, elapsed time, target-size status, and the selected privacy setting. Save to Photos or open the share sheet. Selected videos are compressed and processed on your device; they are not uploaded to external servers. Face detection can miss faces depending on footage and conditions, so always review the final video before sending.
