How to Compress Video Online — 3 Steps

Server-side FFmpeg re-encodes your video with optimised settings so file size drops significantly while the image quality stays sharp.

  1. Upload your video

    Select any MP4, WebM, MKV, MOV, or AVI file up to 100 MB. No video is stored permanently — it is deleted after 60 minutes.

  2. Choose a compression preset

    Balanced is the best choice for most creators — it achieves 40–70 % file reduction at visually lossless quality. Use Fast for quick uploads or Quality for archival.

  3. Download the compressed file

    Processing takes a few seconds to a few minutes depending on video length. Download your smaller video as soon as it's ready.

FASTSmallest file size — ideal for messaging apps and quick sharing
BALANCEDBest quality-to-size ratio — recommended for YouTube, social media

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my video be compressed?

Typical results are 40–70 % size reduction on the Balanced preset. The exact saving depends on your source video's codec and bitrate — highly compressed inputs (like screen recordings) will show smaller savings than high-bitrate camera footage.

Will compression make my video blurry?

The Balanced and Quality presets are tuned to be visually transparent — the difference is generally imperceptible to the human eye on normal-sized screens. The Fast preset may show minor artefacts on very detailed or fast-moving footage.

What format does the compressed file come out as?

All presets output MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio — the most universally compatible format for YouTube, social media, and all devices.

Can I compress a 4K video?

Yes, but the file must be under 100 MB and the duration under 10 minutes. Very large 4K files may exceed the size limit — consider splitting the clip first.

Is my video deleted after processing?

Yes. Your file and the compressed output are automatically deleted from our servers within 60 minutes of processing. Nothing is stored long-term.
