Video compressor

Phone videos are huge. Shrink one to fit an email (25 MB), a WhatsApp message, or a college form's upload limit.

How to compress a video

Choose your video.
Type the size you need in MB, or pick a resolution. 720p looks good on phones; 480p is much smaller.
Press Compress. The video plays through once while it's re-recorded.

Why isn't the file exactly the size I asked for?

Browsers treat the size as a target, not a promise. Simple scenes come out smaller and busy scenes larger. If it's still too big, try again with a smaller number or a lower resolution.

How much can a video be compressed?

Phone videos are often 4–10 times bigger than they need to be for sharing. Below about 1 MB per minute at 480p, the picture becomes blocky.

Can I cut it shorter too?

Yes, set the start and end times. A shorter clip is the easiest way to get a smaller file.
