Compress photos. Save space.
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
5 free credits. Record a window while you work elsewhere. Trim and compress videos to share, or find and compress large Photos items. Paid options afterwards.
Find what's taking up space. Record what you need to share. Start with 5 free credits.
Before paying for more iCloud storage, find the large photos and videos in your Photos library. Lens Pro helps you compare their sizes and compress supported items on your Mac. It also combines screen recording, trimming and video compression for walkthroughs that are easier to share.
TRY IT WITH 5 FREE CREDITS
New users receive five free credits. No purchase or Lens account is required to start.
• A successful recording uses one credit, including its automatic compression.
• Compressing an existing video or a supported Photos item uses one credit per item only when a smaller result is saved.
• Failed or skipped operations do not spend a credit.
MAKE MORE ROOM IN PHOTOS
• Find large photos and videos, including originals stored in iCloud Photos.
• Compare available file sizes and choose what to compress.
• Review estimated size reductions before compression.
• Compress selected supported items after confirming replacement of the originals.
Lens saves smaller replacements to Photos and deletes the selected originals. Changes sync through iCloud Photos when enabled. Photos manages recovery in Recently Deleted. Live Photos, paired resources and animated images are left unchanged. Apple may download iCloud originals when requested. Photos access is optional.
Reducing your library's size may help you avoid a storage upgrade or fit a smaller iCloud plan. Savings depend on your media, settings and total iCloud usage. Lens does not change your subscription; any plan change is yours to make. Compression can affect quality, and estimated reductions are not guaranteed.
RECORD A WINDOW. KEEP WORKING ELSEWHERE.
• Capture a screen, a window, a screen region, or part of a window.
• Keep recording a selected window while working in another app, even when that app covers it.
• Explain each step with microphone audio, system audio, or both.
• Add an optional webcam overlay and choose whether to show the cursor.
• Choose a recording quality preset, with automatic compression in supported presets.
• Set a countdown and save the recording to a folder you choose.
Keep the source window open and playing, and your Mac awake. Some apps pause content in the background. Window capture can include sound from other windows or tabs in the same app.
MAKE YOUR VIDEO EASIER TO SHARE
• Trim unwanted footage from your recording.
• Compress a video or a batch of existing videos.
• Choose a quality preset and HEVC or H.264 encoding.
• Use automatic compression with supported recording presets.
Already efficiently compressed files may not become smaller. Lens saves video files on your Mac for you to share using your preferred app or service.
LOCAL PROCESSING. NO LENS ACCOUNT.
Recording and compression run on your Mac. Lens has no account system, advertising or automatic analytics.
AFTER YOUR FREE CREDITS
Buy credit packs as needed or choose a monthly Lens Pro subscription for unlimited recordings and compressions while active. Current prices appear in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled through your App Store account settings.
Requires macOS 14.6 or later. Screen Recording permission is needed for capture. Microphone, camera and Photos permissions are used only for the features you enable.
