About Compress Video
Reduce video file sizes while retaining clear visual quality and balanced audio. This tool helps you shrink bloated video recordings for easier email attachments, messaging apps, and web hosting.
All compression runs locally on your computer or phone via WebAssembly. Your original video is never transmitted over the internet or stored on external servers. You can select between Light compression for minimal visual change, Medium for a balanced footprint, or Heavy compression for maximum file size reduction.
How to use Compress Video
- Drop your video file into the dropzone or click to select from your files.
- Choose your desired compression strength (Light for subtle reduction, Medium for a balanced tradeoff, or Heavy for the smallest file size).
- Click Compress to start the in-browser H.264 re-encoding process.
- Preview the compressed video and click Download to save the smaller file to your device.
FAQ
- Will quality drop?
- Higher compression means smaller files with more quality loss. Use the Balanced option for a good tradeoff.
