Compress video online

Compress a video to reduce its file size in your browser — no upload, no signup. Re-encode to a smaller file, free.

Reduce the file size of a video without uploading it. Re-encode the video with a lower bitrate or smaller resolution to shrink the file while keeping it watchable. Useful for fitting a video under an email attachment limit, reducing a clip for faster upload to another site, or saving disk space on a large recording. The amount of reduction depends on the source — already-compressed videos shrink less, raw or high-bitrate footage shrinks a lot. Everything runs in your browser, so the file stays private. Free, no account, no watermark.

How it works

  1. Open a video from your device
  2. Choose a target size or bitrate
  3. Compress in your browser — no upload
  4. Download the smaller video
