Free Online Video Compressor: Reduce Video File Size

Our free video compression tool lets you reduce file sizes, change resolution, and adjust bitrate without installing any software. Whether you need to shrink a large video for email, optimize it for social media upload limits, or prepare content for web embedding, this tool provides a fast, watermark-free solution with no signup required.

Upload your video, select the target resolution (from 4K down to 240p, in both horizontal and vertical orientations), set the desired bitrate in kbps, and choose an output format. We support MP4, AVI, MKV, WebM, and MOV output formats. The compression is powered by FFmpeg for reliable, high-quality video processing.

How to compress a video online:

  1. Upload your video file (MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, MKV, FLV, or other formats, up to 200MB).
  2. Set the target resolution and bitrate. Lower values produce smaller files with some quality reduction.
  3. Choose an output format (MP4 recommended for maximum compatibility).
  4. Click "Compress Video!" and download the result.

Tip: Most social media platforms recommend 1080p resolution and 5000-8000 kbps bitrate for high-quality video. For email attachments, try 480p at 1000-2000 kbps to keep files under 25MB. The original audio track is preserved in the compressed output.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a video online?

Upload your video, select a target resolution and bitrate, choose the output format, then click "Recompress video!" The lower the resolution and bitrate, the smaller the output file.

Will compression reduce video quality?

Yes, compression involves a quality-size tradeoff. Lower bitrate values produce smaller files but with reduced visual quality. For most uses, 720p at 2000-3000 kbps provides a good balance.

What is the best format for compressed video?

MP4 (H.264) is recommended for maximum compatibility across devices, browsers, and platforms. WebM is a good alternative for web-only use.

Is this compressor free?

Yes, 100% free: no watermarks, no signup, no limits. Files are deleted one hour after upload.
