Reduce video file size with this free online video compressor. Make videos smaller so you can send them by email, WhatsApp, other messengers, or upload them to YouTube or other video platforms.
or drop, paste, or choose from cloud
The compressor runs in the browser. There is nothing to download, nothing to install, and no account to create.
Upload a video, pick how much the app should compress, and start the job. The compressed file comes back as a download.
You can add more than one video in the same run. Each file is compressed on its own, with the setting you chose.
The settings offer three ways to compress. "Recommended" is the default, and it lets the app pick the compression settings for you.
"Target file size" takes a size in megabytes and aims the output at it. Whole numbers from 1 to 65536 are accepted, and anything outside that range is corrected for you.
"Compress for email" is a fixed target of 25 MB, which is the attachment ceiling most email providers enforce. Pick it when the video has to travel as an attachment.
Video compression is lossy, so a smaller file gives up some detail. How much depends on the size you ask for.
"Recommended" is the mode to use when the picture matters more than the exact size. The engine balances quality against the saving.
A very small target on a long recording forces heavy compression. Ask for a larger size, or shorten the video first, and the result holds up better.
MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, and many other video formats can go into the compressor. A phone recording, a screen capture, or a camera file all work.
Every job returns MP4. It plays on phones, computers, browsers, and TVs without extra software, which is why it is the output format.
Note that all compressed videos will be saved as MP4 files.
Compression is fully automated. Nobody reads, looks into, or copies the videos you upload, and no backup of them is made.
The videos are not used to train AI models. You keep the copyright and the ownership of both the source file and the compressed one.
The download link is generated at random and cannot be guessed, so only the person holding it can fetch the result. The servers doing the work are located in Europe.
Every platform caps what you can attach or upload. Pick the mode that matches the limit you have to meet.
"Compress for email" aims at 25 MB, the size most providers allow on one attachment. Pick that mode and start the job, with no number to work out.
Messengers refuse a video over their own limit, and they often recompress what they do accept. Put the size your app allows into "Target file size" and send the smaller file.
Discord, Slack, and forum uploaders each set their own ceiling, and each one publishes it. Read the number, type it into "Target file size", and one setting covers them all.
Upload your video file. We accept MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, and many other formats.
Set your desired file size.
Click "Start" to begin compression.
Yes. Upload a video, press Start, and download the smaller file. No account is needed and nothing is installed.
Upload the video, choose how much the app should compress it in the settings, then press Start. The compressed MP4 comes back as a download.
The free limit is 50 MB per upload. Video files are large, so this is the limit most people meet here. Shorten or split a long recording, then compress the parts. The paid plans raise the limit.
Up to 5 files per run without an account, and 10 once you register, which is free. Each video is compressed on its own with the same setting.
Some detail is lost, because video compression is lossy. "Recommended" keeps the picture closest to the source, and a small target size costs more quality.
Choose "Target file size" in the settings and type the size you need. Whole numbers from 1 to 65536 megabytes are accepted, and the app corrects anything outside that range.
MP4, every time. The compressor reads MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, and many other formats, and it writes MP4, which plays almost everywhere.
The usual causes are a recording that was interrupted before it finished writing, a file protected by DRM or a password, a codec the converter cannot read, or a pasted link that points at a web page instead of the video.
Every app here runs in the browser, with nothing to install.
