TinyVid

TinyVid is a video compression app for iPhone from Island Palm Mobile LLC, listed as Video Compressor, Size Reducer. It shrinks large video files, including 4K HD footage, to free up storage space on the phone, using AI to keep quality while reducing size. TinyVid is meant for iPhone owners who are running out of space because of large videos in their camera roll.

The user opens the camera roll inside TinyVid, selects a video and taps the Compress Video button. TinyVid compresses the file in seconds and saves the smaller copy back to the camera roll. To help find candidates, TinyVid recommends large videos worth compressing. Compression relies on AI so that the smaller files keep their visual quality.

A TinyVid Premium subscription unlocks compression of photos as well as videos, all of the advanced video compression features and all future updates. The interface is available in English and 32 more languages, including Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese. TinyVid sits in the App Store's Photo & Video category and is rated 4+.

TinyVid is free to download, and Premium comes with a free trial before billing starts, with a reminder sent before the trial ends. The weekly plan is billed at $6.99; the in-app purchase list also shows a 1 Week option at $2.99, yearly options at $44.99, $59.99 and $69.99, and discounted yearly offers at $19.99.
