In this age of social media, recording and sharing videos has become a daily routine for many of us. But as high-quality videos take up a lot of storage space on your iPhone, it can be difficult to record and save all of your favorite moments. Luckily, there are many ways to compress a video on your iPhone, allowing you to save space and store more videos.

1. Use the Default Video Compression Option

When you record a video on your iPhone, it is automatically saved in high-definition quality, which can take up a lot of storage space. But you can easily reduce the size of the video you record by using the default video compression option provided by Apple. To access this option, go to “Settings”, then go to “Camera”, and in the “Record Video” section, select the resolution you prefer. This option allows you to choose between different levels of compression, ranging from high-definition to standard definition.

2. Use Third-Party Apps

There are several third-party apps available on the App Store that can help you compress videos on your iPhone. These apps offer a range of features, allowing you to compress videos to specific resolutions, convert them to different file formats, and even edit them. Some popular video compression apps include Video Compressor, Compress Videos & Reduce Size, and Video Resizer.

3. Use the iMovie App

The iMovie app is a great tool for not only editing but also compressing videos. The app allows you to easily select the resolution and file size you want your video to be compressed to. Select your video from “Photos”, then tap “Create Project”. Once you’re in the editor, tap the video clip at the bottom of your screen, then tap the three dots. Select “Save Video” and choose the compression settings you want.

4. Use Airdrop

Airdrop is a great feature that allows you to transfer files between two iOS devices. But it can also be used to compress videos. Simply select the video you want to compress, then share it via Airdrop to another device. When you select the “Compress” option, the video will be automatically compressed.

5. Upload to Cloud Storage

Another option to compress videos is to upload them to cloud storage services like iCloud or Google Drive. These services automatically compress the videos when you upload them, saving you storage space on your iPhone. Plus, you can always access your compressed video from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.
