Steps
- Install Video Compressor for iPhone & iPad
- Open the app and add your video
- Pick 720p or lower the bitrate until the preview looks good
- Export and share the smaller file
Recommended settings
- 720p for messaging; 1080p for general sharing
- Lower bitrate gradually and compare the preview
Batch compress
Select multiple videos and compress them in one go to save time.
Pick the right target
For messaging, 720p typically looks great on phones while saving a lot of space. For general sharing, 1080p is a good balance. Lower bitrate in small steps and use the preview to judge quality.
Downscaling from 4K
Reducing 4K footage to 1080p often yields major size savings with minimal visible change on mobile screens. Confirm fine details remain crisp in the preview.
