But I’ve got a solutionnot all videos need to be stored at full quality, at all times.
This means there’s no need to upload or share your video files to online compression websites.
Kompresso is differen, while still being plenty robust.
you’ve got the option to compress a video by 30% without even changing the resolution.
And a drop in resolution can lead to 70% or higher file size savings.
The storage space issue: The biggest factor here comes down to storage space.
Data usage and upload issue: When it comes to uploading or sharing videos, file size really hurts.
The Cloud issue: Apple is already bad at giving usaffordable storage space.
Do you really want to give Apple $120 per year just to store some large video files?
What does compressing your videos do?
Good video compression is all about striking a balance between file size and visual quality.
The software analyzes the video frame by frame, and then looks for redundancies and patterns across the video.
This can be between a single frame, or between multiple consecutive frames.
In a single frame, the algorithm might compress adjacent pixels with similar color and brightness.
When it comes to multiple frames, the algorithm might also save on details from a static background.
Of course, once video is compressed, you might notice that the video quality is slightly reduced.
You might see visible pixelation, or blockiness in some videos with fast motion.
Although, with good programs, this isn’t that common.
How to compress vidoes on iPhone using Kompresso
The Kompresso app offers two options for compressing videos.
By default, you’ll see a simplified three tier option.
Add any video and choose betweenHigh,Medium, andLowquality.
As you change the option, you’ll see the file size savings you’ll get up top.
This will make the video take up around 30% less space.
Personally, I wouldn’t suggest going down that far.
Next, check that to choose H.265 encoding, as it’s highly efficient.
Finally, tap theCompressbutton and wait a while as the video is compressed.
Now, you’re able to directly share the video, to save it to the Photos app.
