Compress any video until it fits in iMessage or email — without uploading it anywhere.
The 'file too large' error is the whole reason this shortcut exists. It takes any video from Files or Photos, runs Filemorph's on-device compressor at medium quality (roughly 60–80% smaller for screen recordings and camera footage), and hands the result straight to the share sheet. Nothing is uploaded — compression runs on the phone's media engine, so it works in Airplane Mode and on multi-gigabyte files that web compressors reject.
There's no one-tap install for this one yet — add each action below in the Shortcuts app and you'll have it running in about two minutes.
No. Filemorph compresses on-device; the shortcut works with Wi-Fi and cellular off.
Video compression is part of Filemorph Pro ($29.99/year, 7-day trial). Image shortcuts in this gallery run on the free tier.
Every action in this recipe runs entirely on-device — no upload, no account.
