Boring Video Compress
Compress videos and photos on your phone. No ads, no limits, nothing uploaded.
About Boring Video Compress
Boring Video Compress makes videos and photos smaller, on your phone.
Nothing is uploaded. The app has no internet permission at all, so your files cannot leave the device — compression runs locally on your phone's own encoder.
WHAT IT DOES
• Compress video — quality presets from "keeps 4K/HD" down to "very low", or set a target size in MB and let the app work out the bitrate for you.
• Share limits — one tap picks a size that fits the messaging and social apps you send clips through, so "file too large" stops happening.
• Convert format — MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP and MPEG, with H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1, MPEG-4 and MPEG-2.
• Trim and cut — keep one section, or remove one from the middle.
• Compress photos — JPEG, WebP or PNG, with a quality slider and a maximum size.
• Batch — select as many files as you like. They run one after another, with progress in the notification shade, and keep going when you switch away.
• Library — everything you compressed, with before and after sizes and how much space you got back.
FREE, AND ACTUALLY FREE
No ads. No subscription. No account. No tracking, no analytics, no crash reporting. There is no paid tier to unlock — every feature is in the app from the first launch.
WHERE YOUR FILES GO
Results are saved to Movies/BoringCompress and Pictures/BoringCompress, so your gallery and file manager see them straight away. Your originals are never modified or deleted.
A COMPRESSOR THAT WON'T INFLATE YOUR FILES
Asking for a fixed quality can make an already-efficient video bigger than it started. This one caps every job against what the source actually carries, so a file that cannot usefully shrink is left near its original size instead of growing.
OPEN SOURCE
The app ships FFmpeg as shared libraries under the LGPL v3. Settings → About → Open-source licences names every component, carries the full licence texts inside the app, and links to the exact source and build scripts used to produce them.
