iPhone video compressor

Videos recorded on iPhones tend to be high-quality and can have large file sizes. In some cases, this can negatively affect the process of sharing them and the amount of space on the phone. Normally, to make a video file size smaller, a compression is used.

Compressing videos can help manage storage space, improve sharing and uploading times to various online platforms, reduce data usage, enhance compatibility, and improve playback on different devices.

It’s especially useful to use compression when you need to send long videos on iPhone, since some email servers impose limitations on the size of attachments they can handle. Compressing your iPhone video for email ensures that it meets these limitations, preventing any errors or failures when sending.

With our tool, you can reduce the size of your iPhone video without quality loss in a few quick steps and see the result immediately.
