Compress Video Online

Shrink a video so it fits an email or upload limit, with the output size estimated before you start and nothing ever uploaded.

Runs on your device, so there is no upload wait, no queue, and no size-gated paywall.

Trim, cut, crop, speed up, add text, then save as MP4, GIF or MP3. Nothing uploads: it all runs in your browser.

Quick tips

Compression tips

  • Dropping 1080p to 720p usually saves more than lowering quality alone.

  • Balanced is the right default — Smallest is visibly softer.

  • Fit a size aims for a file size, such as 10 MB for Discord or 25 MB for email.

  • Trim before compressing if you only need part of the clip.

FAQ

Video compression questions

Is there a watermark?

No. There is no watermark, no signup, and no limit on how many files you compress.

How much smaller will my video get?

Usually 50-80% at the Balanced setting, depending on the footage. The estimate updates as you change settings.

Why does it take a few minutes?

Compressing re-encodes every frame, and that happens on your device rather than a server farm. The time estimate is shown before you start.
