Questions about Video Compressor.
What can I compress for free?
Video Compressor includes a free allowance of 1 GB of source video. Video Compressor Pro unlocks unlimited compression, either for as long as your weekly or yearly subscription is active or permanently with a one-time Lifetime purchase.
Will compression reduce quality?
Compression always trades some detail for size. Choose High Quality, Balanced, or Max Saving; the estimate updates before compression starts, and you can compare the compressed copy with the original before deciding anything.
Does Video Compressor upload my videos?
No. Photo and video content is processed on your iPhone and is not uploaded to SwiftLee servers. Apple services may download iCloud originals when needed.
Why does an iCloud video take longer?
The original may need to download through Apple PhotoKit before compression. Keep the app open, use a stable connection, and check that the device has enough temporary free space.
Can I keep the original?
Yes. The app saves the compressed copy first. Deleting an original is a separate, explicit action that uses the system Photos confirmation.
How do I restore Pro?
Open the app’s purchase screen and choose Restore Purchases while signed into the Apple Account that made the purchase.
Compress your
first 1 GB free.
Compare the result before you replace anything. Pro unlocks unlimited compression.
