Compress Video

Make a video file smaller without a watermark. Choose a quality level, or aim for a target size in megabytes, and get a leaner MP4 back. It all happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded and there is no sign-up.

A video compressor makes a file smaller without a watermark, right in your browser. Add an MP4, MOV or WebM, pick a quality level or aim for a target size in megabytes, and download a leaner MP4, so it works to compress a video online or shrink a clip for email. A phone or screen recording can often be cut by half or more with little visible change. Everything runs on your own device, so nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How small can I make the file?
It depends on the clip, but you can usually cut a phone or screen-recording video by half or more with little visible change. The quality mode trades sharpness for size in steps, and the target-size mode sets the bitrate so the result lands near the number of megabytes you ask for.
Quality mode or target size: which should I use?
Use quality mode when you just want a smaller file and do not have a hard limit. Use target size when something has a strict cap, like a 25 MB email attachment or an upload limit, and you need the file to come in under a specific number of megabytes.
Why does compressing take a while on a big clip?
The whole video is re-encoded frame by frame on your own device, so longer or higher-resolution clips take more time and more memory than short ones. For very large files, compressing in shorter pieces, or lowering the resolution first, keeps things comfortable.
