What Slimreel Does

Slimreel shrinks video files entirely on your device. Pick a target — WhatsApp, email, or a size cap — or a quality tier, and Slimreel estimates the output size before you commit, so you're never guessing. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server: all compression happens locally using on-device video processing.

How to Use Slimreel

  1. Tap Pick a Video and choose a video from your Photos library
  2. Choose a target size (WhatsApp, email, 100 MB) or a quality tier (High, Medium, Small)
  3. Check the live estimated output size shown for your chosen preset
  4. Tap Compress and wait for Slimreel to finish, entirely on-device
  5. Save the result to Photos as a new video (your original is left untouched), or share it directly from the result screen

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is my output still large?

A: The Original quality tier is a passthrough tier — it re-encodes at (close to) the source bitrate and resolution, so the output size will be close to the original. To shrink the file, pick a target size (WhatsApp, email, or a custom cap) or a lower quality tier such as Medium or Small instead.

Q: Is there a daily limit or anything to unlock?

A: No. Slimreel is a one-time purchase on the App Store, and everything is included: unlimited compressions, every preset, original-resolution output and batch compression. There are no in-app purchases and no subscription.

Q: I bought Slimreel Pro in an earlier version. What happens now?

A: Everything Pro included is now part of the app for everyone, so you keep all of it and there's nothing to restore.

Q: Does Slimreel need an internet connection?

A: No. Compression works completely offline, including in airplane mode. If you allowed usage statistics, the app sends them the next time you're online; you can turn that off in Settings → Privacy.

Q: Can I compress more than one video at a time?

A: Yes. Select up to 20 videos at once and Slimreel will work through them one at a time, with a single summary when it's done.

Q: Is my video data private?

A: Yes. Your videos are read from and saved back to your device's Photos library using Apple's on-device tools and are never uploaded anywhere. Slimreel has no accounts. If you allow it when the app first opens, it sends basic usage statistics (app opens and which features you use) tied to a random install ID, never your videos or file names; you can turn that off in Settings. See the full Privacy Policy for details.

Troubleshooting

Compression is taking a long time

Compression time depends on the video's length, resolution, and your device's performance, since everything runs on-device. Longer or higher-resolution videos, and older devices, will take longer. Keep the app open and your device unlocked until the process finishes.
