Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress a video on iPhone without downloading an app from the App Store?
Open ClipShrink in Safari on your iPhone, select your file directly from the Photos app or Files, and choose your target size. WebAssembly compresses the video directly in Safari memory without installing third-party apps.
Why are iPhone videos recorded in MOV and HEVC format so large?
iOS records at high bitrates using 4K 60fps or HEVC containers. A 30-second clip can easily exceed 80MB. ClipShrink transcodes and downscales it to web-optimized 720p H.264 MP4.
Is it safe to compress personal iPhone videos on ClipShrink?
Yes. Unlike cloud conversion apps that upload your family clips to unknown servers, ClipShrink processes 100% on your device. Your video never leaves your iPhone.
