Leve on iPhone: a 1.2 GB video set to Email 18 MB. The estimate reads about 18 MB and confirms it fits Email.

Three taps, one exact size.

Leve asks one question: where is this video going? It works out the rest, and tells you before it starts whether the result will fit.

  1. Pick a video

    Use Apple’s photo picker. Leve sees only the videos you choose, not your whole library.

  2. Choose where it’s going

    Email, Discord, 25 MB or your own number. A live estimate shows the final size and a clear yes.

  3. Compress and save

    A lighter copy lands in Photos next to the original, with the same date and place. Share it straight from the result.

Fits Email

Gmail and Yahoo accept 25 MB, but attachments grow by about a third when they’re sent. 18 MB stays under that.

The Custom size dial in Leve set to 16 MB, with the Discord and Email limits marked on the scale.

Lighter, not different.

A 1.2 GB clip became 17.4 MB. The two squares are drawn to scale.

Questions

More answers on the support page

Will the video look worse?

Making a video smaller always changes something, so Leve shows you first. The live estimate tells you the resolution it will use, and the compare slider shows a real frame at your settings before anything is encoded. Bigger targets keep more detail.

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. Leve compresses every video on your iPhone. The only network use is checking your Leve Pro purchase and anonymous usage counts, which you can switch off.

Why is only 1 video a day free?

Compressing takes real work on your phone, and Leve has no ads and sells no data. So the free tier covers 1 video a day at full quality, with every size goal and no watermark. The limit resets daily.

Is Leve Pro a subscription?

No. It’s a single purchase of $9.99. It unlocks unlimited videos, batches, replacing or removing originals and Your videos by size on every device signed in to your Apple account. Family Sharing is included.

What happens to my originals?

Nothing, unless you choose. By default Leve saves a new copy. With Leve Pro you can replace or remove originals, but only after the smaller copy is saved. The original moves to Recently Deleted, where you can recover it for 30 days.

Does it keep HDR and Dolby Vision?

Leve keeps HDR. Dolby Vision videos are saved as HDR, so they stay bright and colourful on HDR screens.

Does it hit the exact size every time?

Leve aims under your target. If a video is too long for it, Leve tells you before it starts, along with the smallest size it can reach. If a result still lands over, it says so plainly and suggests a smaller target.

Which iPhones does it run on?

Any iPhone with iOS 18 or later.

Does Leve work with Shortcuts?

Yes. The Compress Video action lets you add Leve to your own shortcuts.
