How It Works

1

Upload a supported video file

Drag and drop your video into the upload area or click to browse files. Accepted formats: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLV, and WMV. Maximum file size is 60 MB.

  • One video is processed at a time
  • Files larger than 60 MB will be rejected before upload
2

Choose available compression options

Select a quality setting — Low (smallest file), Medium (balanced), or High (best quality). The setting you pick affects how much the file is reduced and the output quality.

  • Low: smallest file size, lower quality
  • Medium: balanced quality and file size
  • High: best quality, moderate compression
3

Start the compression process

Click Compress Video and wait for the server to process your file. Compression time depends on the video duration, format, and server load.

  • The video is uploaded to the server for processing
  • Processing time varies by video size and server availability
4

Download the compressed video if available

When processing succeeds, you can download the compressed video. The output is returned as an MP4 file with '-compressed' appended to the filename.

  • Output format is MP4
  • Original and compressed file sizes are displayed for comparison

Common Use Cases

Shrink Videos for Email

Reduce video file size to fit within email attachment limits. Choose a lower quality setting for the smallest possible file.

Compress Videos for Sharing

Make videos smaller before sharing via messaging apps or social media. Smaller files upload faster and use less data.

Save Storage Space

Compress large video files to free up storage space on your device while keeping a watchable version of the content.

Tips & Best Practices

Choose the right quality setting

Use Low for maximum file-size reduction when quality is less important. Use Medium for a balance of size and quality. Use High when you need to preserve as much quality as possible.

Check file-size limits first

Files larger than 60 MB cannot be processed. If your video is too large, try trimming the length or reducing the resolution before uploading.

Compression results can vary

The final file size and output quality depend on the source video format, duration, resolution, bitrate, and the quality setting you select. Two videos with the same file size may compress differently.

Video Compressor

Compress videos for any purpose

Whether you need to email a video attachment, share a clip in a messaging app, or free up storage space, compressing your video makes it faster to send and easier to store.

Choosing the right quality setting

Low produces the smallest file but reduces visual quality. Medium balances size and quality — good for most uses. High preserves more detail with moderate compression.

How it works

  • Upload a video file (max 60 MB) in MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLV, or WMV format.
  • Choose Low, Medium, or High compression.
  • Your video is processed in your browser and returned as MP4.
  • Download your compressed video.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a video online?

Upload a supported video file (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLV, or WMV, up to 60 MB), choose a quality setting — Low, Medium, or High — and start the compression. When processing succeeds, download the compressed video.

Is this video compressor free?

Yes. You can compress supported video files from your browser without creating an account or paying.

Will compressing a video reduce quality?

Quality depends on the source video and the quality setting you choose. Lower quality settings produce smaller files but may reduce visible quality. Higher quality settings preserve more detail but produce larger files. Results depend on the video format, duration, resolution, bitrate, and selected settings.

Which video formats are supported?

The current uploader accepts MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLV, and WMV files. The compressed output is returned as MP4. Some files may not process successfully depending on their encoding details and size.

Why did my video compression fail?

Compression can fail if the file exceeds the 60 MB limit, the video format or encoding is not supported, or the browser does not support its codecs or have enough memory. Try a smaller file or a different format.

What is the difference between video compression and video downloading?

Video compression reduces the file size of a video you already have. Video downloading saves media from supported public links — use YouTube Downloader, TikTok Downloader, or other downloader tools for that purpose.
