Three steps, under a minute.

  1. 1

    Pick a video

  2. 2

    Choose a size

    Keep the quality, hit a limit like WhatsApp's 16 MB, or set an exact size.

  3. 3

    Save or share

    Save to Photos with the date kept, or share straight to WhatsApp or Mail.

Made for the places your videos go.

Bonus

Extract audio from any video

Save the soundtrack as M4A, trim it with handles and find it later in your Library. A 0:42 clip is about 616 kB.

Is it free?

Yes. Download and compress for free with no ads and no account. Premium (optional, in-app purchase) unlocks 1080p/4K, HEVC, batch compression, every Send-to target and lossless audio.

Does compression reduce quality?

It re-encodes the video at a lower bitrate and, if you choose, a lower resolution. On a phone screen the result looks the same; use Compare to check side by side before saving. The app never makes a file bigger than the original.

What's the WhatsApp size limit?

WhatsApp shares videos up to 16 MB in a regular chat message. Pick WhatsApp in Send to and the app aims just under that limit.

Will it keep the date and location?

Yes. Saved copies keep the original date and location and go to a «Compressed» album. You can remove the location before sharing.

Does it upload my videos?

No. Compression happens on your iPhone. Your videos are never uploaded.

Which formats are supported?

Any video from Photos or Files that iPhone can play (MOV, MP4, H.264, HEVC, 4K and HDR). Export as MP4 or MOV, H.264 or HEVC.
