How can we help?

On the home screen tap Video, Audio or Image and pick one or more files. Choose a preset (such as WhatsApp or Email 25 MB), a target size, or set the options yourself under Custom. The predicted size is shown before you start. Tap Compress now, then save or share the result.

Yes. In Photos, Files, WhatsApp or any app with a share button, tap Share and choose Compressor. On iPhone, if you don't see it, scroll to the end of the app row, tap More and add it.

No. The app compresses everything on your device, so it works offline and needs no sign-up. A connection is only used to show ads in the free version and to talk to the App Store or Google Play when you buy or restore Pro.

Video: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, FLV, TS and more, as H.264, HEVC (H.265) or VP9, up to 4K — plus GIF output and audio extraction.
Photos: HEIC, JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP and camera RAW (and JPEG XL on iPhone).
Audio: MP3, AAC/M4A, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, OGG, Opus and WMA.

A few formats depend on what your device's hardware supports; the app only offers choices your device can produce.

Try the matching preset, or type the exact limit as a target size — the app will lower resolution and bitrate to fit. Very long clips may not fit a small limit at a watchable quality; the app tells you before you start if a target can't be reached. Trimming the clip helps a lot.

That can happen with files that are already heavily compressed. When it does, the app keeps your original and tells you, so you never end up with a worse, bigger copy. Try a lower-quality preset or a smaller resolution.

Big 4K or HDR videos take longer, especially on older phones. The app uses your device's hardware encoder when it can; the Speed option trades size for time. A batch pauses itself when your battery is low (you can change this in Settings → Pause on low battery) and resumes where it left off if the app is closed.

On iPhone, keep the app open while a long video compresses: iOS pauses long encodes in the background. Short clips and photos finish in seconds.

On Android, allow notifications so the batch can keep running in the background with a progress notification.

You decide. For photos you can keep all metadata, strip only the location, or strip everything. The result screen tells you what was carried over.

Photos and videos are saved to your camera roll or gallery — or, if you choose it in Settings → Save to, to a “Video Compressor” album. Audio is saved through the share sheet or to Files. Every result also appears in History.

The app needs permission to add to your photo library to save results. On iPhone, go to Settings → Compressor → Photos and choose Add Photos Only (or Full Access if you want the “Video Compressor” album). On Android, check Settings → Apps → the app → Permissions. Also make sure your device has enough free storage.

No. The app never modifies or deletes the originals in your photo library or Files. It works on its own temporary copy, and the Keep original files setting only controls whether that working copy is cleared once your result is saved.

No ads, no file-size cap (the free version handles files up to 500 MB), batches of any size, every preset, any target size and format, and maximum-effort compression. Pro is available weekly, monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase; prices are shown in the app in your currency.

1. Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple ID or Google account you bought Pro with.
2. Open the app and go to Settings → Restore purchases.
3. Wait a few seconds while the store checks your purchase. You'll see “Pro is active on this device.”

Still not working? Check that the subscription is active in your store account, that the device is online, and that Family Sharing or a different account isn't involved. Then email us with your order ID (from your store receipt) — never send your password or card details.

Subscriptions are managed by the store, not inside the app, and deleting the app does not cancel them.

• iPhone / iPad: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Video Compressor → Cancel Subscription. Or visit apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions.
• Android: Google Play → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Video Compressor → Cancel. Or visit play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions.

Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for.

Payments go through Apple or Google, so they handle refunds. Request one from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, or from Google via Google Play's refund page. We're happy to help if you get stuck.

No. The app has no server and processes everything on your device. Read the full Privacy Policy.

Ads keep the free version free; they are served by Google AdMob. Pro removes them. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland you're asked for consent first and can change it any time in Settings → Privacy choices. On iPhone and iPad, the app asks once whether to allow tracking — you can change that any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's privacy settings. More in the Privacy Policy.

There's no account and we don't store your data on any server, so there's nothing for us to delete. Everything the app keeps — settings and history — lives on your device and is removed when you uninstall the app.
