ClipSail

Coming soon to Android and iPhone

Convert, compress and extract audio. On your phone.

ClipSail makes a video easier to send, play or listen to. The work happens on your device, and the file you picked is never changed.

  • Android 13 or later
  • iOS 17 or later
  • No account
  • No automatic uploads

What it does

Three focused tasks. Nothing you have to learn first.

  • Make smaller

    Shrink a video for chats and email. Pick Smaller, Balanced or Higher quality and see an estimate before you start.

    Estimates are approximate. A smaller file isn't guaranteed.

  • Convert to MP4

    Turn a supported video into an MP4 that plays on almost any phone, laptop or TV.

    MP4 (H.264 + AAC), up to 1080p at 30 fps

  • Extract audio

    Keep just the sound from a video, or convert an audio file you already have.

    MP3 or M4A · from MP3, AAC and PCM audio

How it works

Pick a file. Choose what to make. Keep the copy.

  1. 1

    Choose one file

    From Photos or Files, or share it to ClipSail from another app. Up to 500 MB and 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Review the settings

    See the output format, and for compression an estimated size, before anything starts.

  3. 3

    Save or share

    ClipSail checks the finished file before it's ready. Then save a copy, share it, or open it.

Your original is never overwritten or deleted. ClipSail works on a private copy.

Private by design

Your videos stay on your phone.

ClipSail converts on the device itself. A file leaves your phone only when you save it somewhere or share it yourself.

Read the privacy policy

  • Converted on your device

    The media engine runs on your phone, not on a server.

  • No account

    Open the app and start. Nothing to sign up for.

  • No automatic uploads

    Your media isn't sent anywhere unless you choose to.

  • Original untouched

    ClipSail never overwrites or deletes the file you picked.

Questions

Before you try it

Does ClipSail upload my videos?

No. Conversion runs on your phone, and there are no automatic uploads. A file leaves your device only when you save it somewhere or share it yourself.

Why was my video turned away?

ClipSail only accepts files it has been tested with. Other files, including HDR video and protected media, are rejected before conversion starts, and your original isn't touched. See what's supported today.

Will compression always make my file smaller?

Not always. The size shown before you start is an estimate, and a smaller file isn't guaranteed. You see the real size before you save.

Can I leave the app while it works?

That depends on your phone's system. If a conversion is interrupted, ClipSail keeps it, and you can restart it when you come back.

Where does the finished file go?

It stays in ClipSail's Library. From there you can save a copy to your photos or files, share it, or open it in another app.
