VidSquash — Video Compressor & Sender

Compress videos to fit Discord, WhatsApp, iMessage, Email, and Instagram. One tap. No blurry output. No data leaves your device.

WHY VIDSQUASH?

You record something great, try to send it, and hit a wall: "File too large." VidSquash solves this properly. Tell it where you're sending, pick your video, tap Compress. Done.

DESTINATION-FIRST DESIGN

Start with one question: where are you sending this?

• Discord — 25 MB limit, optimized automatically • WhatsApp — Smart Mode prevents double-compression artifacts • iMessage / Text — keeps it in the conversation thread • Email — under 10 MB, stays in inboxes • Instagram / TikTok — Reels-optimized output • Free Up Storage — maximum compression, still sharp • Custom — set any target size in MB

No kbps sliders. No codec menus. Just pick your destination.

TRUE BACKGROUND PROCESSING

Lock your screen. Switch apps. Pocket your phone. VidSquash keeps compressing.

When it finishes: "Your Discord video is ready — 23 MB." Tap, share, done. Live Activity on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows real-time progress.

SHARP OUTPUT AT SMALL SIZES

VidSquash uses CRF-based quality targeting — the same approach professional encoders use. H.264 or HEVC is chosen automatically. HDR is preserved where possible. The result: 24 MB that looks like 24 MB.

FREE UP YOUR IPHONE STORAGE

Your video library is probably hundreds of gigabytes you'll never watch at full resolution. Library Cleaner scans your library, shows how much space you can recover, and batch-compresses in the background. Free 10–50 GB on a typical iPhone.

IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE

• Photos Library — tap any video, no extra permission prompt • Files App — GoPro transfers, screen recordings, downloaded MP4s • Share Sheet — compress directly from Photos without opening the app • iCloud Photos — download handled automatically

PRIVACY FIRST

Your videos never leave your device. VidSquash has no server, no account, no upload step. 100% on-device using Apple's AVFoundation and VideoToolbox. No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs.

HONEST FREE TIER

3 free compressions per day. No ads. No watermarks. No quality degradation. Pro ($4.99 one-time) unlocks unlimited compressions. Free and Pro produce identical output — the gate is on quantity, not quality.
