What you can do with the video compressor

Compress common video formats

Upload MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, OGV or 3GP and reduce the file size without rebuilding the video project.

Choose the output format

Keep the original container when possible or save the compressed video as MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, OGV or 3GP.

Pick a quality preset

Use Auto for a balanced result, High for better detail, Medium for everyday sharing, Low or Smallest when file size is the priority.

Control resolution and FPS

Keep the source size or limit the video to 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p or 360p, and choose 60, 30 or 24 frames per second.

Select a video codec

Let Auto choose a safe codec or use H.264, H.265, VP9, Xvid, WMV2, Theora or FLV when the output format supports it.

Remove the audio track

Create a silent video when you only need visuals for a background loop, product clip, preview or presentation.

Popular ways to use video compression

Social media and messengers

Make phone videos, clips and short edits lighter before posting or sending them where file size limits apply.

Work and education

Shrink screen recordings, class videos, demos, tutorials and meeting clips so they are easier to share with a team or students.

Web and product pages

Prepare smaller product videos, landing-page clips and website assets that load faster while staying clear enough to watch.

Storage and archives

Reduce old exports, drafts and camera files before moving them to cloud storage, backups or long-term archives.

About video compression

Reduce video file size without complicated settings

Video files can become large very quickly, especially screen recordings, phone clips, camera footage and high-resolution exports. Compressing a video re-encodes the file so it is easier to share, upload, publish or archive.

The Auto preset is designed for a practical balance between size and quality. If you need more control, choose a stronger quality preset, limit resolution, set FPS, change codec, or remove audio.

Pick a format that fits the job

MP4 is usually the safest choice for compatibility with phones, browsers, social platforms and editing tools. WebM is useful for web workflows, while MOV, MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, OGV and 3GP cover older devices, archives and specific publishing needs.

If you choose Original, the tool keeps the source container when it is supported. Otherwise, it falls back to a common video format so the compressed result is still downloadable.

Balance quality, resolution and file size

The best compression setting depends on how the video will be used. A product clip or presentation may need clearer detail, while a messenger attachment or preview can usually use a smaller resolution and stronger compression.

Changing resolution, frame rate and codec gives you more control over the final result. Use higher settings when quality matters, and smaller presets when upload limits, storage space or faster sharing are more important.
