Video Compressor

Shrink a video for email, WhatsApp or uploads — without sending it to a server.

Compression runs 100% in your browser, so your video never leaves your device. In-browser encoding is best for clips up to about 200 MB; larger files may run out of browser memory. On first use the video engine (about 32 MB) downloads once and is cached.

Video Compressor — Compress MP4, MOV & WebM in Your Browser guide

Compress a video to a smaller MP4 right in your browser — no upload, no sign-up, no watermark. Pick a quality preset, optionally cap the resolution at 720p, and download the result with before-and-after sizes.

How to use this tool

  1. Drop a video onto the panel or click to choose one — MP4, MOV or WebM. The file name, size and a preview confirm your choice.
  2. Pick a preset: High quality for gentle compression, Balanced for everyday sharing, or Small file when a portal or chat app has a strict limit. Tick the 720p cap if the video is larger than it needs to be.
  3. Click Compress video. On the very first use the encoder (about 25 MB) downloads once and is cached. Watch the progress bar, preview the result, then download the MP4.

A worked example

A 60-second 1080p phone clip of about 95 MB typically compresses to roughly 20–30 MB on the Balanced preset — small enough for email and most upload forms — and to under 10 MB with the Small file preset plus the 720p cap.

How it works

The video is re-encoded in your browser by the FFmpeg encoder compiled to WebAssembly. H.264 video is written at a constant quality (CRF): lower CRF values keep more quality and produce larger files, higher values compress harder. Audio is re-encoded to AAC at 128 kbps when present. Nothing is uploaded: the file is read from your device, processed in browser memory and handed back as a download.

Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Compression happens entirely in your browser with WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device, so private clips stay private.

Which preset should I choose?

Balanced suits most sharing. Choose High quality for archives and Small file when a platform enforces a size limit. Adding the 720p cap shrinks files far more than any preset alone when the original is 1080p or 4K.

Why does compression take a while?

Your browser is doing the same work a video app would, on one processing thread for maximum compatibility. Short clips finish quickly; long or 4K videos can take several minutes. Keep the tab open and in the foreground while it works.

Will the output play everywhere?

Yes — the result is a standard MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, the most widely supported combination for phones, browsers, WhatsApp, email and upload forms.

What is the largest video I can compress?

There is no hard-coded limit, but browser memory is the ceiling: files above roughly 200 MB often fail, particularly on mobile. Trim the clip or split it into parts first if you hit that wall.
