Сompress an iPhone video in three quick steps
There are several alternative ways to share a big recording:
- To split it into several parts and send them one by one. But you'll need a special tool anyway, and this way is really time-consuming and tiresome.
- To upload it to cloud storage or file deposit service and share access with a person via a direct link. Sounds easier than the previous method, but you and the receiver should be logged in to the chosen resource. Another point is that finding free storage with a decent download speed may be difficult.
- To make a video smaller on an iPhone or another device and send it as a single file. In our opinion, this method is the fastest and the easiest, which is why we'll tell you about it in the article.
Upload a file to compress
Open the Video compressor tool by Clideo in any browser to compress your iPhone video for email or social media.
Hit the big blue "Choose file" button to import a recording from your camera roll. You can also call the drop-down menu to select it from Google Drive, Google Photos, or Dropbox.
Make your iPhone video smaller
After the file is uploaded, you will see three compression options (the Superb one is available for premium users only). Click each of them to see the estimated file size after compression, choose the one that suits your needs, and finally click "Compress".
Our tool can reach compression of up to 90%! So, depending on the original file, in most cases, the output size should be fine for most popular social media and messengers, e.g., Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, etc.
Save the result
The result page will show the preview and the actual compression rate, which could even be higher than the estimated one in some cases. Have a quick review to ensure the recording quality is still high enough. Then, download the file to your device or upload it to cloud storage.
Mind that the initial input format will be kept, but if you want to change it, you may do it with the help of the Online Converter. You can also try out our Video Compressor App to reduce the video file size using your own custom settings to have complete control over the entire process.
