Maximum file size: 100 MB
No account, no watermark. Your files are not stored on our servers after processing.
Video files grow large quickly, and that becomes a problem the moment you need to email a clip, upload it to a platform with strict size limits, or simply free up storage on a phone or laptop. This compressor reduces file size by adjusting bitrate and, when needed, resolution, aiming to keep the clip watchable while bringing the file down to a manageable size. It handles common formats and runs the process in your browser rather than requiring a separate desktop application.
You get some control over the trade-off between file size and visual quality, since a lower bitrate produces a smaller file but can introduce more compression artifacts in fast-moving scenes. For most everyday clips - screen recordings, short social videos, or phone footage - a moderate setting keeps things looking clean while cutting the file down substantially. There's no signup step, and because processing stays local to your session, you're not waiting on an upload queue before the compression even starts.
