How to Compress a Video on iPhone and iPad

Video files are quite large even at relatively low resolutions, but with the introduction of 4K and 8K video formats, even short videos captured on mobile phones can run into several MB or GB. That makes them harder to share because most email clients and chat applications have file size limits. To counter this problem on iPhone, you can learn how to compress a video on iPhone or iPad so it's easier to share online. Today, we're introducing a robust iOS/iPadOS app to compress video on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. It's fully protected with a passcode as well as your Face ID and offers a special Security Space to store private documents, media, and other files.

How to Reduce Video Size on iPhone and iPad with UPDF

Step 1: Import the Video into UPDF

To fetch it into UPDF, tap the + symbol on the app interface, where you'll see three import options: Photos, Files, and Computer.

Select the source and then find and tap on your video file to import it.

Step 2: Access the Extended Menu

You can do this by clicking the "..." near the video file, after which you'll see the extended menu, which includes an option to Compress.

Note: If you need to compress multiple files, tap the checkbox icon on the top right to enable multiple selections, then tap on More from the bottom menu to see the Compress option.

Step 3: Click "Compress" to Compress the Video on iPhone

Tap the "Compress" button and the job's done. The file is saved as a ZIP file to a local folder, and your compressed video is now ready to share.

Step 4: Share or Email the Compressed Video

The ZIP file can be easily shared by accessing the extended menu again and tapping on Share or Email, depending on how you want to send it.

It will either automatically trigger your default email client to compose a message with the zipped video file attached, or you can choose another action - save the file to the device, share via AirDrop, etc.

Versatile, secure, utilitarian: that's UPDF for iPhone and iPad.
