Download now for free!\n\nIs 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.\n\nYou 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.\n\nEverything happens on your device (on-device processing): no cloud, no server upload. Works offline, without an account or registration.\n\nHow it works:\n1) Choose a video (or select multiple videos)\n2) Pick a preset resolution and set the compression strength with the bitrate slider\n3) Preview the result: compare the compressed video with the original before you save\n4) Save the compressed video to your iOS Photos/Videos library\n\nGreat for:\n- Saving iPhone storage and freeing up space on iOS and iPadOS\n- Sending videos faster in chats (WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Signal, Messenger, Snapchat, etc.)\n- Uploading to social apps when your video is too large (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, etc.)\n- Backing up more videos to cloud storage (iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.)\n- Keeping quality high while shrinking the video file size\n\nOverview:\n- Compress and shrink a single video or multiple videos to save storage on your iPhone/iPad\n- Choose presets for video compression (resolution) and adjust compression strength with a bitrate slider\n- Before/after preview to check the visual quality of the compressed video\n- Shows available device storage and the estimated new file size (before and after compression)\n- Simple & intuitive\n- 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)\n- No watermark on compressed videos\n- Keeps important metadata, including date/time and location (GPS), after compression\n- Compatible with iPhone and iPad\n- Works with 4K videos recorded on iPhone/iPad\n\nPresets available for video compression:\n- Full HD 1080p (1920×1080 pixels)\n- HD 720p (1280×720 pixels)\n- HD 540p (960×540 pixels)\n- 480p (640×480 pixels)\n- 360p (480×360 pixels)\n\nIn 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.\n\nDownload now for free and save storage on your device!\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\nThe 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.\n\n\n\nStandard Apple Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/","facts":{"developer_id":682848918,"developer_url":"https://www.compressor-apps.com","first_released":"2015-06-13T19:55:20Z","support_url":"https://www.brom-apps.de/apps/imprint-apps-general.php?app=videocompressor","privacy_url":"https://www.brom-apps.de/apps/privacypolicy-general-english.php","website_url":"https://www.compressor-apps.com/","app_version":"3.1.1","release_notes":"Minor improvements and bug fixes.","rating_current_version":4.65541,"rating_count_current_version":3703,"star_counts":[176,29,79,327,3092],"genres":["Photo & Video","Utilities"],"languages":["AR","EN","FR","DE","HI","ID","IT","JA","KO","MS","PL","PT","RU","ZH","ES","ZH","TR","UK","VI"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-03T21:40:12.643Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-03T21:40:12.643Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-10-23T16:02:13.703Z","placed_at":"2026-10-18T07:37:11.801Z","scored_at":"2026-11-04T00:37:12.669Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Compresses videos on iPhone and iPad to reduce file size, with resolution presets, a bitrate slider and a before/after.","what_is":"Video Compress - Shrink Vids is a Photo & Video app for iPhone and iPad that reduces the file size of videos.
