What it does

Swipe · 6
01Fit under a size limitPick 10, 25, 50 or 100 MB, or type your own. The app works out the best quality that fits, with no bitrates to learn.
02Or choose the qualityPick 1080p, 720p or 480p and Smaller, Balanced or Better. You see the estimated size before you start.
03Trim and remove soundCut the start and end on a filmstrip, or drop the sound. A shorter clip gets better quality at the same size.
04Works in the backgroundLeave the app while it works. A notification shows the progress and tells you when your video is ready.
05Never biggerIf the result isn't at least 5% smaller, nothing is saved. Your original video is never changed.
06Uses your phone's encoderCompression runs on your phone's own video hardware, so it's quick and easy on the battery.

Three steps

  1. Pick a video

    From your gallery, or share it straight in from WhatsApp or another app.

  2. Choose how small

    A size limit such as Email 25 MB, or a resolution and quality. Trim it or remove the sound if you like.

  3. Play or share

    The MP4 is saved to Movies/Video Compressor. Play it in your phone's video player, or share it.

Is my video uploaded?

No. It is compressed on your phone, by your phone's own video encoder. Your original stays as it was.

What if it still doesn't fit?

Some phones make files a little bigger than asked. The app checks the result and tries again, up to twice. If it's still just over, it's saved with a note suggesting a slightly smaller custom size.

Why was nothing saved?

If the result isn't at least 5% smaller than the original, the video is already well compressed. The app tells you and saves nothing.

Can I compress several videos at once?

Not yet. The app compresses one video at a time.
