How to Compress a Video on iPhone: A Step-by-Step Guide

Compressing a video on an iPhone can be a great way to free up some storage space, or make it easier to send to others. Whether you need to compress a large video so it won’t take up too much space on your phone, or you want to shrink the file size so you can email it to a friend, this step-by-step guide will show you how to do it.

Step 1: Choose the Video to Compress
The first step is to choose the video you want to compress. You can access videos in your Photos app, or you can download them from the internet. When you open the video, you should see a preview of it.

Step 2: Tap the Share Button
Once you’ve chosen the video you want to compress, tap the “Share” button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. This will bring up a list of options for sharing the video.

Step 3: Select the Compress Option
Scroll down the list of sharing options until you find the “Compress” option. Tap on this option to open the Compress settings.

Step 4: Choose the Compression Settings
In the Compression settings, you can choose the resolution of the video (low, medium, or high) and the file size (small, medium, or large). The higher the resolution and the larger the file size, the better the quality of the video, but the bigger the file size will be.

Step 5: Select the Compress File Size
Once you’ve chosen the settings you want, tap the “Compress File Size” button at the bottom of the screen. This will start the compression process. Depending on the size of the video, it may take a few minutes to complete.

Step 6: Save the Compressed Video
Once the compression is complete, tap the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen to save the compressed video. You can then access the video in the Photos app, or share it with others.

Compressing a video on an iPhone is a great way to free up some storage space, or make it easier to send to others. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily compress a video on your iPhone in just a few minutes.
