Video compressor

Shrink videos so they fit in an email, a chat message or an upload form. Pick how strong the compression should be and the maximum resolution; the result is an MP4 that plays everywhere.

Your files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works

  1. Add your videosDrop one or more videos from your phone or camera.
  2. Choose the strengthMedium and 1080p suit most videos; use 720p for chat apps.
  3. DownloadSee how much smaller each video got and download it.

Smaller videos, still sharp

Phones record at high bit rates, so a two minute 4K clip can easily reach several hundred megabytes. Most of that is not needed to watch it on a screen. The compressor re-encodes the video with a bit rate based on its resolution and, if you like, scales it down: 720p is plenty for WhatsApp, Telegram and email, 1080p for YouTube and presentations.

Encoding uses the hardware encoder of your device, so even long videos are compressed quickly, and the result is always an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio.

Private by design

The video never leaves your device, which matters for family videos, interviews and confidential recordings. If the compressed file would not be smaller, you get the original back.
