Compress video

How to compress an MP4 or MOV video

Choose a file-size limit and inspect the actual result, including whether sound was retained.

1. Choose a video and enter a target from 1 to 100 MB.
2. Choose whether to keep sound, then start compression.
3. Play the result and check its size before downloading; if the source already fits, download the original.

Input

A supported MP4 or MOV video.

Output

A compressed MP4, or the unchanged original when it already fits the limit.

Before you start

• Up to 500 MB and 30 minutes. Protected, fragmented, HDR and some codec combinations are unsupported.
• A chosen size may be too small to reach. Keeping sound also depends on the source audio format.

• Make a short silent animation — Convert a selected clip when the desired output is GIF rather than video.
