    Compressing video in a browser is slow – a few minutes of video can take several minutes. The desktop Converter is many times faster.

    How to compress a video

    1. Drop your video in the box.
    2. Choose how small, and the picture size (720p is a good start).
    3. Click Compress and save the smaller MP4.

    Private by design

    Your files never leave your device: everything happens inside your browser, nothing is uploaded or stored, and there's no sign-up, watermark or limit. Close the page and it's all gone.

    Questions

    How much smaller does it get?

    Phone videos often shrink by 60–90 % at 720p.

    Why is it slow?

    Your own computer does the work inside the browser. The free Ethical Converter desktop app is many times faster.
