Reduce size of video to email it
I have a 2:30 video of my sons physical therapy that I need to send via aol but it’s over 25 MB. Is there an app to use to compress it? Safe for iPhone7?
Thanks for any help!

Hello Mum4evah,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.
We'd like to help you get that file sent successfully. We know you mentioned AOL but we wanted to mention a feature built in to iCloud called Mail Drop. If you can send this email via an iCloud email account, you can utilize Mail Drop to share files up to 5 GB. That should certainly be enough space for the video you described. The good news is that if you have an Apple ID email address (which you likely do if you're using iPhone) then you can also create a free iCloud email address.
Here is how to use iCloud Mail if you haven't done that in the past: Create a primary email address for iCloud Mail - Apple Support
And once you have that set up, this article will help you utilize Mail Drop: Add an email attachment in Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support
Thank you for being a part of the community here. We hope this information helps!
Best wishes.
