Compress Videos & Resize Video Reviews

by Lmno61830

Just wasted an hour of my time *trying to* compress the same file 4 times. First time, after losing all the progress made from switching between apps and leaving it running in the background and coming back to it, which it didn’t inform of that happening if I were to not have it running in the foreground. Second time, after about 20+ minutes of it processing a message popped up saying ‘file couldn't be compressed to a smaller size, try adjusting the parameters before compressing to see if that will work’. So I adjusted, and frankly don't want to waste any more time writing this review, but long story short- third time told me there wasn't enough space on my iphone once it was nearing done, which I followed its prompts to clear some space in settibgs, which when i came back to it again all the progress (of 20+ minutes !!) — again — lost!! Only to persevere and now try for the win, with smaller parameters, only to after over a half an hour come back to it (in the foreground on my phone) 100% complete — and now says ‘file couldn't be compressed to a smaller size...’ Couldn't it figure all of this out BEFORE having me go through the motions and entire processes just to tell me it can’t!?? Great intention with creating CompressVideosResizeVideo — but needs more practical user-in-mind design. Best of luck towards improvement.

This video compression APP demand that the user provide complete bank card information. In a large banner across the top of the screen is a message

“WE WILL NOT CHARGE YOUR CARD”

“ … we need this information to determine geographic and location data …”

This Video Compression APP immediately charge my bank card for $1.00 (USD) AND I received a “Fraud Alert” from my bank that this vendor is charging people for iPhone, iOS game applications and numerous complaints are being filed against CompressVideosResizeVideo developer.

Not that this matters anymore, the default compression settings produced a terrible highly distorted compressed video resulted where the viewer is presented highly pixilated video with medium to large random blocks and colors.

I have screen shots and will contact Apple Security.

This looked like a great app, but I tried compressing several videos for an important data collection project, and despite adjusting what they recommended or lower (at one point trying 65% and 25 speed), it always came back saying it couldn’t make my large videos — to large to even Airdrop to my computer — into anything smaller. It was just totally useless for me and I’ve already deleted it.

It worked like a charm so I could send a large video thru messenger. However I had to do it a few times before getting the size I needed. I just wish that you could pick the size you need or set it for other apps like messenger.

On the downside, after sending it thru messenger. My friend nor I couldn’t play it! It had zero video data in it! Sorry CompressVideosResizeVideo is a no go! At least not for what I needed it for.

I really like CompressVideosResizeVideo, it does what it said, mostly. So the one major drawback is even if I choose 60fps, the compressed video will always be 30fps. Tried it in iPad 2018 and iPhone X. Both result are the same.

I hope the developer will fix this. Because the only use case for me right now is to downgrade 4k60fps to 1080p60fps.

Does a GREAT job compressing large video files and preserving existing aspect ratio! My video was 6gb and it converted to less than 3gb with very little quality loss. Gave 4 stars because app says pro version costs $4.99. Clicked to pay and it's actually $8.99. (Needs updating) Still, I bought it because I support developers who are working hard to make these apps we Love and use daily! 👌

I used CompressVideosResizeVideo a ton a while back, but around 1 month ago it stopped having the videos truly have loaded in the size. It’s hard to put into words, but here’s what it’s like.
Have 44MB video.
Open compress.
It says video is 155KB.
Try to compress anyway.
Cannot compress.
Until it’s fixed, Not using CompressVideosResizeVideo.

Edit: It turns out this happens only after I change the length of the videos in apple’s photos app. If you can fix it, ok!

Great app, it does exactly as it says. It was a little hard to figure out how to add more videos since I didn’t give it full access to my videos. Also, I had to try different levels of compression to find what worked. Suggestions based off what your attempting to do (text, post, etc)would be helpful.

I wanted to send a video to my friend on discord but the file was too large, so I just got CompressVideosResizeVideo and pressed a few buttons and bazinga it compressed.

CompressVideosResizeVideo is very user friendly, it look less than a minute to compress my video on the first try.

Wow this is like magic. Obviously not all videos can be compressed if they are compact already. I compressed all my videos to 24fps @ 760p. So if any of my videos were already that size I just left them alone. Saved me many Gigabytes storage. Gonna stick with CompressVideosResizeVideo. It does have ads for the free version and offers a premium version for a price. Compressing one video at a time with no frills, free was for me!

Easy to use, straight to the point, and its so simple.
I definitely recommend using or even trying CompressVideosResizeVideo out

Sometimes I have trouble sending even short videos by email. So frustrating! But this simple tool makes it possible.

by Alanpeebmeow

Doesn’t ask for credit card info before it works, just watch a short add!

CompressVideosResizeVideo is super awesome. It helps me save a lot of memory on my phone by compressing all my videos and photos. I highly recommend it to everyone. I give it two thumbs up and 5 stars.

I have an iPhone 8+ and downloaded bunch of apps trying to compress a video of 38 minutes long nothing worked until I downloaded CompressVideosResizeVideo! I love it!! Keeping it on my phone !

by Deadinonehit

Nothing is locked behind a paywall and the ads aren’t horrendously intrusive. Most importantly, it works. I wish other companies followed the same model for free apps (or just wish this company would develop a .mov to .mp4 converter).

Very happy with CompressVideosResizeVideo. I had trouble compressing a video and emailed about it. With in an hour I had a response and I was able to fix the issue. Great app!!!! The compression is quick and design is user friendly. I tired a few others some with hidden fees and this by far is the best.

by Pastasock

It does the job! Never downloaded any other video compressors, so I can’t really compare, but it works how it’s supposed to. There are ads, but not that many in my experience. One ad on the bottom of the screen, and one video ad before I compressed my video. Thanks to whoever made this :)

For a learner techie like me CompressVideosResizeVideo is perfect. Simple simple. Phone does get hot. But my file was almost two hours long and a huge file size File was shrunk about 15 percent. Now will go to premiere pro for additional compress
