How much can it shrink a video?

It depends on your source video and chosen compression level, typically a meaningful size reduction with a manageable quality trade-off.

Can I choose the output resolution too?

Yes, you can lower the resolution alongside the compression level for an even smaller file.

Does it work with any video format?

It accepts common formats like MP4, MOV and WebM as input.

Does Video Compressor upload my files to a server?

No. Video Compressor runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

Choose File

Runs entirely in your browser using an on-device video engine. Large files take longer and use more memory. The engine downloads on first use, then it's cached.

About this tool

A video file that's too large for an upload limit or too slow to share needs its file size reduced without the result looking obviously degraded, which needs proper compression settings rather than a blunt size cut. This tool reduces video file size for sharing and upload, balancing size against visible quality.
