Start with MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, and similar uploads. Compatible MP4 and MOV files keep their container; other formats export as MP4.

How to compress a video
- Select one video or drop a whole batch onto the page. MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, and similar files are all accepted.
- Pick a codec: H.264 is the compatibility default, while H.265 and AV1 trade broader playback for newer compression.
- Set the approximate target size percentage. The encoder will aim for that size and protect quality by reducing dimensions when necessary.
- Click Compress videos, then download each result or send compatible files directly into another video tool.
Smaller files, easier to share
Big video files are slow to upload, awkward to email, and quick to fill up storage. This tool shrinks them into easier-to-share files while keeping playback smooth, so a single clip or an entire batch is handled in one place. Choosing H.265 or AV1 can improve efficiency, while H.264 remains the safest choice for broad playback.
