Why MP4 files get large

MP4 size depends on video length, resolution, frame rate, motion, and bitrate. This tool creates a new MP4 with smaller encoding settings.

What happens to your file? It stays in this browser tab while the tool creates the output.

Best settings and limits

Best first try

Balanced and 720p is a good first pass. Pick Smallest file for chat apps or attachment limits.

When this may fail

Some MP4s are already highly compressed. Those files may not shrink much without visible quality loss.

Privacy boundary

The selected video file stays on your device while the tool creates the output.

Frequently asked questions

Can I compress MP4 offline?

This page runs in the browser after the site loads. The selected MP4 is not uploaded for conversion.

Will the output still be MP4?

Yes. The result is an MP4 file.

Why did my file get bigger?

If the source was already very compressed, re-encoding can sometimes increase size. Use stronger compression settings.
