Free video compressor
Make a big video smaller so it sends and uploads faster. Free, no signup, no watermark.
How to compress a video
- Choose your video. Tap the box and pick a video from your phone or computer.
- Pick a level. Balanced works for most videos. Small gives the smallest file. Target size lets you aim for a number like 16 MB.
- Tap Compress video. It takes about as long as the video lasts. Keep this page open and your screen on.
- Play it, then download. Check the result before you save it. If it looks too soft, try a higher level.
Tips for creators
- Lower resolution is the biggest way to shrink a video. Most phone screens look fine at 720p or 480p.
- Very short clips may not shrink much because they are already small.
- Compress once from your original. Compressing an already compressed video again lowers quality quickly.
Questions
Why does it take as long as the video?
The video is processed as it plays, so a 2 minute video takes about 2 minutes. Keep the page open and your screen on until it finishes.
How much smaller will my video get?
It depends on the video and the level you pick. The page shows an estimate before you start. The final size can differ by about a fifth.
What video types work?
MP4, MOV and WebM work in most cases. Some formats such as MKV and AVI may not play. If a file fails, try Chrome.
What file do I get?
Depending on your device you get an MP4 or a WebM file. MP4 works almost everywhere. If you get WebM and an app won't take it, Chrome or Safari usually make MP4.
What are the limits?
Up to 1 GB and 15 minutes on a computer, and 250 MB and 5 minutes on a phone or a device with little memory, because phones are slower and can run out of memory.
Do you keep my videos?
No. We don't store your files.
Is it free?
Yes, with no signup and no watermark. The page shows ads from a third-party ad network, which runs its own code and may use cookies.
