What is Compress Video?

Reduce video file size using H.264 compression with quality presets. Works entirely in your browser.

How It Works

Upload your video, choose a quality preset, and click Compress. FFmpeg re-encodes with H.264 using the selected CRF value.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your video

    Drop an MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, or WebM file onto the upload area. The file is processed locally using FFmpeg WebAssembly.

  2. 2

    Choose compression preset

    Select a quality preset: Maximum (smallest file), Balanced (good quality/size ratio), or Minimum (near-original quality).

  3. 3

    Set resolution (optional)

    Optionally reduce the output resolution (e.g. 1080p → 720p) for even smaller file sizes.

  4. 4

    Compress

    Click "Compress Video". FFmpeg re-encodes the video in your browser — this may take a minute for large files.

  5. 5

    Download

    Once complete, download the compressed video. The original file is never modified.
