File-size reduction means compression

Video file size depends on duration, resolution, frame rate, motion, and bitrate. This tool reduces size by creating 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

Start with Balanced and 720p. Use Smallest file and 480p when the output must be much smaller.

When this may fail

Exact output size cannot be guaranteed. Long videos and high-motion footage need more data to stay watchable.

Privacy boundary

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

Frequently asked questions

Is reducing video file size the same as compression?

Yes. This page uses compression settings to create a smaller video file.

Will my video be uploaded?

No. The selected file is processed locally in your browser tab.

Why is the output still large?

The source may be long, high resolution, or full of motion. Trim or lower resolution for a smaller result.
