Video Compressor

Shrink MP4, WebM and MOV videos with resolution and bitrate controls — re-encoded on your device.

About the Video Compressor

The Video Compressor re-encodes your video at a lower resolution or bitrate so the file comes out smaller — small enough for messaging apps, email limits, faster uploads and saving storage. You control the trade-off between size and quality, and the whole job runs on your device: the video is never uploaded, and the result carries no watermark.

How to use it

  1. Choose a video or drop it onto the box (MP4, WebM or MOV).
  2. Pick a resolution and bitrate — lower settings mean a smaller file.
  3. Press Compress and let it re-encode; progress is shown as it works.
  4. Preview the result, compare sizes, and download it. Wrong file? Use Remove video.

Frequently asked questions

Why does compression take about as long as the video itself?

The video is re-encoded in real time in your browser, so a 2-minute clip takes roughly 2 minutes. That is the trade-off for keeping everything private on your device with no upload wait.

Is there a watermark on the compressed video?

No. The downloaded video is just your video, smaller — no watermark, no branding, no time limit.

What format is the output?

MP4 on browsers that support recording it (Chrome, Edge, Safari), otherwise WebM, which plays in all modern browsers and most apps.

How much smaller will my video be?

It depends on your settings. Halving the resolution and choosing a moderate bitrate commonly cuts a phone video's size by 60–80% while still looking good on small screens.
