About Compress video

Get a video under the limit for WhatsApp, email, Discord or a course upload without sending it to a server. Pick a target size or a quality level, see the estimated result before encoding, and download an MP4 that plays everywhere.

  • Lowering the resolution to 1080p or 720p is the fastest way to a much smaller file.
  • Removing audio helps for screen recordings that have none.
  • Long videos take a while because encoding runs on your device; keep the tab open.

How to use it

  1. 1Drop a video.
  2. 2Choose a target size like 8 MB or 25 MB, or a quality level; optionally lower the resolution.
  3. 3Compress and download the MP4.
