Video Compressor - ShrinkIt

ShrinkIt shrinks videos on your iPhone so you can free up storage and share clips through email or messaging apps without hitting size limits.

KEY FEATURES

Smart Video Compression
Five quality presets or a custom target file size. Up to 90% size reduction at the lowest setting.

Quality Presets
- 1080p Full HD: Minimal compression, maximum quality
- 720p HD: Balance of quality and size
- 480p SD: Standard quality for everyday use
- 360p: Smaller files for messaging
- 144p: Maximum compression for minimal storage

Target Size Control
Set a target in MB. ShrinkIt picks compression settings to land near it. Useful for email attachments or platform upload limits.

Batch Queue
Queue multiple videos and let them process one after another. Pause and resume any time.

Real-Time Progress
See original size, compressed size, space saved, and elapsed time per video.

Dark Mode
Auto-follows system settings or pick light/dark manually.

Privacy First
All processing runs on your device with Apple's AVFoundation. Videos never leave your iPhone. No account, no internet required.

WHY SHRINKIT
