Simply compress and shrink videos to save storage. Download now for free! Is your iPhone/iPad storage almost full — or do you want to reduce a video’s file size to send it faster via messengers like WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Signal, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, etc., or upload it to social media like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and more? This app solves the problem. You can also use this app when your cloud storage (iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.) is running out of space. Compress videos before uploading to fit many more — with little to no noticeable loss of quality. Everything happens on your device (on-device processing): no cloud, no server upload. Works offline, without an account or registration. How it works: 1) Choose a video (or select multiple videos) 2) Pick a preset resolution and set the compression strength with the bitrate slider 3) Preview the result: compare the compressed video with the original before you save 4) Save the compressed video to your iOS Photos/Videos library Great for: - Saving iPhone storage and freeing up space on iOS and iPadOS - Sending videos faster in chats (WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Signal, Messenger, Snapchat, etc.) - Uploading to social apps when your video is too large (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) - Backing up more videos to cloud storage (iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.) - Keeping quality high while shrinking the video file size Overview: - Compress and shrink a single video or multiple videos to save storage on your iPhone/iPad - Choose presets for video compression (resolution) and adjust compression strength with a bitrate slider - Before/after preview to check the visual quality of the compressed video - Shows available device storage and the estimated new file size (before and after compression) - Simple & intuitive - Optional: delete the original video after compression (it may still appear in the “Recently Deleted” album — delete it there as well to free up storage) - No watermark on compressed videos - Keeps important metadata, including date/time and location (GPS), after compression - Compatible with iPhone and iPad - Works with 4K videos recorded on iPhone/iPad Presets available for video compression: - Full HD 1080p (1920×1080 pixels) - HD 720p (1280×720 pixels) - HD 540p (960×540 pixels) - 480p (640×480 pixels) - 360p (480×360 pixels) In addition, you can set the bitrate with a slider. The app shows the estimated new file size and provides a before/after video preview so you can check the image quality. Download now for free and save storage on your device! PLEASE NOTE: The app was made to compress original videos that had been recorded with the original camera app of your iPhone/iPad and may not always be able to compress videos from other sources or videos that had previously been edited, although it was successfully tested with drone videos, GoPro action cam videos, DSLR camera videos etc. in MOV, HEVC (H.265), MP4, H.264 in different fps (frames per second). Please also don't select too many videos at once. Please always try to compress a short video from the same source and see if it works before you make a purchase within the app. Standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Works great with 4K to 1080p. Needs 4K to 4K

I love this app. Help me compress videos and keep the quality on HD 1080p videos before I upload them to dropbox or iMessage them to someone.You can convert HD 1080 P to a compressed HD 1080p, 720p or 480p and it lets you adjust how much bit rate quality you want to lose. If I leave it at its default compression and same 1:1 resolution, it will shrink the files to 1/3 of their size and I don’t notice a quality loss at all.I only wish I could convert 4K to a compressed 4K. Right now the maximum compressed output size it can create from a 4K file is 1080p.It would be great if they could update the app to compress into a compressed 4K size as well. I understand why they don’t, because you can set an iPhone 8 or higher to use the new Apple built in compression, But there are times I feel my 4K file and forget to set the camera to use Apples compression and would like to convert it afterwards.

Save $$ on iCloud Storage Fees

It’s great to be able to compress those massively oversized native iPhone videos to a size that’s storage friendly and easy to email. My mother’s cell data plan is punishing on large files, but now I can send her more videos of my dog — her favorite of our family. Why isn’t the ability to chose bitrate an option with iPhone’s app? I suspect it’s to “encourage” users to buy Apple’s cloud storage services. I’m so grateful for this app. The free version is worth it and the ads aren’t even very annoying. Get it people!

Stopped working and tried to charge me again

I paid $4.99 for the upgrade because the app was useless without it. Then I paid $0.99 to get rid of the ads. A few minutes later the app stopped working. I would choose a video to compress then it would “compress” it but the newly compressed video would not show up anywhere in my camera roll or in the album I selected. After 4 more failed attempts I deleted the app and downloaded it again, hoping to give it a chance to refresh or restart. Just like the first time, it tried to charge me $4.99 in order to compress even a small video. And I would have had to pay $0.99 again to make the ads go away. Really??? Seems like a total scam to me. I gave it 2 stars because the five videos I compressed before it stopped working turned out great. But I’ve never been so disappointed with a purchase on the App Store before. I want my money back.

We are shooting videos that are good enough for the big screen but also so big you can't message or email them. Even one step down to 720P reduces the file to maybe 1/5th yet is totally sharp. Crunch it even more for mobile no problem. Also good for making more room on your drive. Of course anything super important should be downloaded to your computer full size. It's free but I will gladly pay the $.99 to get rid of the ads and put the money in the pockets of the creators.
