What is this tool?

Reduces video weight by lowering the bitrate and resolution while keeping the file playable in the browser.

What is it for?

  • Send a video by message without blowing the attachment limit.
  • Publish a screen recording on a page that must load fast.
  • Shrink old files that take up space on the phone.

Step by step

  1. 1Upload the video.
  2. 2Choose the quality and, if needed, the maximum width.
  3. 3Process it and follow the progress in real time.
  4. 4Compare the final size with the original and download.

How to use it

Quality

Controls the recording bitrate. Low values produce a much smaller file, with visible loss in high-motion scenes.

Maximum width

Caps the horizontal resolution; zero keeps the original. Reducing width usually saves more bytes than lowering quality alone.

Audio track

Audio is kept. If the video needs no sound, removing the track in the audio tool saves extra space.

Examples in practice

Recorded screen lesson

A 40-minute recording at 380 MB is recompressed at 1280 px width and drops below 90 MB, keeping the text legible.

Video for a message

A 60 MB clip must fit 16 MB: lowering quality and capping the width solves it without cutting content.

Frequently asked questions

Does compressing shorten the duration?
No. Duration stays the same; what changes is the amount of data per second.
Is the audio compressed too?
The track is re-recorded along with the video, so it follows the chosen quality.

Questions

Does the file get uploaded?
No. Every step runs on your device; the page has no server for media.
Why is the result a WebM?
Chrome and Firefox record WebM. When the browser records MP4, MP4 is offered first.
