The Smart Video Compressor app is rated 4.7 on the AppStore. It is free and allows you to compress your videos quickly and easily.
When compressing 4K video, you can reduce the file size over 70% to 80%. Video can be compressed to 720p or VGA.

After installing it, the Smart Video Compressor app gives you three compression choices:

- medium (DVD)
- HD (720p).
