Samsung One UI has lots of handy features, but some are hard to find. Most people only use Quick Settings or the main Settings app, so they miss out on useful tools hidden elsewhere. One great example is a built-in video converter in the Samsung Gallery app. It lets you make videos smaller and lower their quality without downloading any extra apps.
This tool isn't for advanced editing—it's just perfect for quickly shrinking a video, reducing its resolution, or changing it to a better codec. If you often record in 4K on your Samsung phone, this feature can free up a ton of storage space.
Why Use the Samsung Gallery App to Reduce Video Size?
Many Samsung Galaxy smartphones can record 4K videos. 4K videos are four times the resolution of a Full HD video (1920x1080 pixels), which means life-like visuals and clarity. Such clarity in 4K videos comes at the cost of storage space—the longer the video, the more space it will claim on your phone’s storage.
For day-to-day tasks, such as recording a few-second clip, taking a video selfie, or recording something that doesn’t require very high detail, you can simply stick to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels horizontally or 1080 x 1920 pixels vertically), or even HD (1280 x 720 pixels horizontally or 720 x 1280 pixels vertically), as the 4K format is not required for such videos.
Also, 4K videos are large in size, which makes them a bit difficult to transfer files from one device to another, and they’re also not supported by every device due to the codec and file size. So, if you have got a bunch of 4K videos that are taking much of your phone’s storage, reducing their size and resolution would be ideal if you do not care much about the visual detail.
For reducing the video size and resolution on your Samsung phone, you don’t need any third-party apps because the solution is already built-in to your Samsung Gallery app.
Important Note: This hidden video converter is only available on certain Samsung phones—mostly mid-range and flagship models that can record in 4K. You won't find it on basic entry-level Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
