How to Change iPhone Video Recording Settings to Reduce Video Size

Learn how to change iPhone video recording settings to reduce video size with clear steps.

How to adjust iPhone video recording settings in Settings

Step 1

You access Settings on iPhone then click on the Camera application to adjust. Go to the settings interface, the user clicks on Video Recording to proceed with adjustment.

Step 2

Now users will see many video recording options on iPhone from 720p to 4k at 120fps.

4K video is high quality but the video size is quite large. For example, a 1-minute video shot at 4K resolution, 30 fps will be about 150MB in size, while a 1-minute video shot at 1080p resolution, 30 fps will only be 65MB.

We recommend 1080p HD at 30fps to get quality video even when uploading to social media sites. However, if you want smooth video, you can also choose the 1080HD at 60fps option.
