Frequently asked questions
Will the quality be good?
Yes, the tool aims for high quality rather than the smallest possible file. Videos above Full HD are reduced to 1920 pixels on the long side, which still looks sharp on phones and laptops. Compare the result with the original before using it.
Is the sound kept?
Yes. If the video has sound, it stays in the compressed file.
Which browsers work?
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari that support video encoding. In other browsers support varies, and the tool will tell you if it cannot compress there.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and encoded in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
How do I make a video smaller to send?
Choose it on this page: compression starts by itself and keeps the sound. Videos above Full HD are reduced to 1920 pixels, which often makes 4K phone clips several times lighter.
How long does video compression take?
It depends on the length of the video and the speed of your device: a short clip takes seconds, a long 4K video several minutes. Keep the tab open until it finishes.
Which video formats can I compress?
Any video your browser can read, usually MP4 and MOV from phones and cameras. The result is always an MP4.
