Compress Video Files to Reduce Size

Shrink video file sizes by adjusting resolution, bitrate, and codec settings. Preview the quality before saving to find the right balance.

Useful when a video is too large to email, share, or store. The compression runs locally using WebCodecs, so your video never leaves your device. See the file size reduction in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will my video get?

Depends on the original. A 100 MB phone video often compresses to 10–30 MB with acceptable quality. Use the quality slider to find your balance. If you only need part of the video, [trim it](/video/trimmer) first to reduce the file size even further.

Can I set a target file size?

Yes. Specify the target size and the tool adjusts the bitrate to match, giving you predictable results.

Will compression make the video blurry?

Higher compression means lower quality. Start with moderate settings and increase compression only if you need a smaller file.
