    Compress video

    Runs locally

    Choose a video, pick a quality and resolution, and compress it. Everything is processed on your device.

    How to use

    1. Choose or drop a video.
    2. Pick the quality and the resolution. 720p with "Balanced" usually cuts the size by 60–90%.
    3. Press Compress and wait; the progress bar shows the time left.
    4. Check the result and download the MP4.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why does compression take a while?

    Re-encoding video is heavy work, and here it runs in your browser instead of a server. Expect roughly the length of the video or longer on a fast computer, and more on phones. Lower resolutions are much faster.

    Which settings should I use?

    For sharing on phones, 720p and "Balanced" are a good start. Use 480p or "Smallest" for strict size limits, and "High" quality for footage you want to keep.

    Will the video play everywhere?

    Yes. The result is an H.264/AAC MP4 file, which plays on phones, computers, TVs and every social network.
