Quick tips
Compression tips
Dropping 1080p to 720p usually saves more than lowering quality alone.
Balanced is the right default — Smallest is visibly softer.
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.
