The Best App for Compressing Videos on Android: Handbrake+

Having the ability to record 4K videos on your Android phone is amazing, but sometimes the highest quality is too much. If you want to reduce the size of a video, your best option is to compress it.

Video compression is the process of reducing the number of bits required to display a video. It aims to shrink the video while maintaining the original quality. This results in a smaller file size that is easier to share or upload. When searching for a video compression app on the Play Store, you'll come across many options. However, most of these apps are filled with ads, in-app purchases, and unnecessary permissions, which can make them feel sketchy.

So, which app should you choose? We recommend using the free app "Handbrake+ for Android."

Although it contains ads, it doesn't have any in-app purchases and only requires permission to access your media files. As of July 2023, it has over one million downloads and a rating of 4.2/5. Most importantly, the developer assures that the app doesn't collect data or share anything with third parties.
