Why Compress Your Videos?

Large video files are a headache. They take forever to upload, eat through your storage, and often get rejected by email clients and messaging apps. Video compression solves all of this by dramatically reducing file size while keeping your video looking great.

Whether you need to share a recording over email, send a clip on WhatsApp, upload to social media, or simply free up disk space — compressing your video is the fastest solution. Our tool uses the same H.264 codec that powers YouTube and Netflix, delivering the best balance of quality and file size.

Compress Videos For Any Platform

WhatsApp & Telegram

WhatsApp limits videos to 16MB. Compress your clips so they send instantly without quality loss. Works for Telegram, Signal, and iMessage too.

Discord

Discord free users can only upload 25MB. Shrink your gameplay clips, memes, and screen recordings to fit the limit.

Email Attachments

Most email providers cap attachments at 25MB. Compress video presentations, demos, and recordings so they actually send.

Social Media

Optimized MP4 files upload faster to Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube — and they play smoothly on every device.

Built for Content Creators & Professionals

Whether you're a YouTuber, social media manager, teacher, or business professional — video compression is essential to your workflow. Large raw recordings from screen capture software, DSLRs, and smartphones can easily be 1–5GB per minute.

Our compressor re-encodes your video with optimized H.264 settings, often reducing file size by 50–80% while keeping resolution, frame rate, and visual quality virtually identical. The output MP4 plays perfectly on every device and platform.

How Video Compression Works

Video compression works by removing redundant information that the human eye can't perceive. Instead of storing every pixel of every frame independently, modern codecs like H.264 use "inter-frame prediction" — encoding only the differences between frames. This is why a 2-minute video of a talking head compresses much more than 2 minutes of fast action footage.

Our tool also optimizes the encoding settings — bitrate, keyframe interval, and profile level — to find the sweet spot between file size and visual quality. The result is a universally compatible MP4 file that's dramatically smaller than the original with no visible quality loss for typical viewing.

Supported Video Formats

Upload virtually any video format and our compressor will handle the rest. The compressed output is always a compact, universally compatible MP4 file.
