Reduce Video size on iPhone 14, iPhone 13, etc.
iPhone always prefers to record videos with the best and highest resolution or frame rate. Based on your type of work, you can decrease or increase the frame rate to suit your need. In my case, if I have to decrease the resolution and frame rate, the result will be a lower video size with a different quality. For instance, the default resolution for video on iPhone is 1080P with 60 fps (frame rate per second). You can decrease the video resolution from full HD to HD resolution and select a frame rate of 30.
Here are the steps to change the video resolution on iPhone.
- Open the camera and tap on the settings.
- You must visit the record video settings.
- You will see the current settings for shooting videos. For now, you will have to choose 720P with the 30 FPS.
After implementing this setting, the video size will be reduced and it will save a lot of storage than you think.
Note: At the bottom of the record video settings, you will notice that apple has mentioned that 720P which is called HD resolution with 30 FPS is the space saver. Aside from that, you can see the other resolutions’ settings and sizes.
