Compress Video
Compress a video to an exact size budget — set a max file size or a percentage of the original, resolution stays untouched. Free, MP4 output.
Compress Video Online — Shrink File Size, Keep the Quality
Compress video online to the exact size you need. Need a clip under 25 MB for email, Discord, or a form upload? Set the size budget and the compressor does the rest, squeezing the most quality possible into the bytes you have. You can target an absolute size (“25 MB”) or a fraction of the original (“make it a tenth of the size”) — resolution stays untouched either way.
Most online video compressors give you a vague quality slider and hope for the best. Targeting a size is different: you say how big the file is allowed to be, and the encoding works backwards from your video’s length to spend that budget where the footage needs it most, so fast motion and detailed scenes hold up even at aggressive targets.
Compressing is about file size, not dimensions. Your 1080p video stays 1080p — just lighter. If you want to change the width and height of the frame instead, that’s a resize, a different job.
How to compress a video online
- Upload the video you want to shrink.
- Choose a target — a maximum file size, or a fraction of the original (default: 10%).
- Download the compressed MP4.
Features
- Absolute size budgets (“must be under 25 MB”) or relative targets (“half the size”).
- Resolution unchanged: the same picture in fewer megabytes.
- Adjustable audio quality, so speech-only videos can spend more of the budget on the picture.
- Standard MP4 output that plays in every browser, phone, and editor.
FAQ
How do I compress a video without losing quality? Some quality loss is inherent to shrinking a file, but a size-targeted encode minimizes it by spending bits where the motion is. For modest targets — 50–70% of the original — the difference is usually invisible.
How do I get a video under 25 MB? Set the maximum file size to 25 MB and download the result. The encoder computes the exact quality level that lands under the cap.
Compressing vs. resizing — which should I use? Compressing lowers the file size at the same resolution. Resizing changes the frame’s dimensions. If you can also accept a smaller frame, doing both shrinks files furthest — but start with compression if all you need is a smaller file.
What format does the result come in? MP4 — the most widely supported video format.
