QuestionsFAQ

Common questions.

How much storage can I actually save?
Most users save 30-70% of their video storage. Older H.264 clips benefit the most; already-HEVC videos still see 20-30% with tuned settings.
Will compression affect quality?
Not visibly. HEVC achieves the same visual quality as H.264 at roughly half the file size. You won't notice a difference watching back.
Does this save iCloud storage too?
Yes. Compressed videos sync back to iCloud at the smaller size, reducing your cloud usage on every device. Some users save enough to downgrade their iCloud plan.
Can I undo a compression?
Originals go to Photos' Recently Deleted folder for 30 days, which is your safety net. For permanent originals, stash them in the Personal Vault before compressing.
Does HEVCut work offline?
Yes. Encoding runs entirely on-device with Apple's hardware HEVC encoder. No uploads, no servers.
