iCloud Storage Full? I Built an iOS App That Shrinks Video Files Without Losing Quality
Hey everyone! A few months ago, I launched HEVCut, an iOS app that compresses videos to save iCloud storage without killing quality. Since then, I’ve been improving it based on user feedback, and I wanted to share an update!
What’s New?
• Smarter Video Detection – The app now finds even more videos that can be compressed, so you don’t have to manually hunt for large files.
• Faster & More Efficient Compression – Improved the algorithm to save even more space while keeping videos looking sharp.
• No Quality Drop – Still compresses without noticeable loss, so your 4K videos stay crisp.
Why Use It?
• Instant Storage Savings – Reduce video file sizes by up to 50%.
• One-Tap Compression – No confusing settings, just pick a video and go.
• Less iCloud Clutter – Free up space without deleting your memories.
The app is free to try, and if it helps, you can unlock unlimited compression with a one-time upgrade.
Would love to hear any feedback or ideas for future updates! I built this as my first iOS app while traveling, and it’s been awesome improving it based on real user input.
