🗜️ Compress Video

Reduce a video's file size for Discord, email or your website — encoded on your own device with FFmpeg in the browser, nothing uploaded. Free, no account needed.

First use downloads a ~30MB video engine (one time, then cached by your browser). Processing runs entirely on your device's CPU, so it's slower than a phone app — a short clip usually takes well under a minute, longer ones more.

About this tool

Drop a video, choose a compression level or lower resolution, and download a much smaller MP4. Encoding runs on your device via WebAssembly FFmpeg — your footage never leaves your computer, so it is fine for unreleased gameplay, private recordings and client work.

For the biggest saving, trim unwanted parts first (same page) and reduce 4K to 1080p.

How to use it

  1. Drop a video file onto the page (MP4, WebM, MOV and most common formats).
  2. Set the start and end points for the trim.
  3. Choose a compression level or target resolution.
  4. Click process, wait for the progress bar, and download the result.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will it get?

Screen recordings and phone videos usually shrink 50–80 % at a medium setting with little visible loss. Going from 4K to 1080p roughly quarters the size on top.

Why does it take a while?

Encoding runs on your CPU in the browser, slower than a native app. Long clips take minutes; the progress bar shows where you are.

Is the video uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally.
