How to use this tool

  1. Choose or drag in one MP4, MOV, or WebM video.
  2. Pick a target file size, platform preset, resolution, frame rate, and audio setting.
  3. Compress locally in your browser, then download the smaller video.

Choose a target file size

Use quick targets like 10MB, 25MB, 50MB, and 100MB, or enter a custom MB limit for email, chat apps, forms, and social posts.

Browser-based compression and privacy

The video file is handled in your browser session. The compression engine runs locally, so the file is not uploaded to a server and no watermark is added.

Supported formats

The first version accepts MP4, MOV, and WebM files up to 500MB. Files from 200MB to 500MB can be processed, but the page warns that browser memory and processing time may be a limit.

FAQ

How do I compress a video online?

Choose a video, select a target file size, review the estimated bitrate and quality, then run compression in your browser.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The first version processes the file locally in your browser and does not provide a cloud upload mode.

Will the compressed video have a watermark?

No. Downloads from The Video Change do not add a watermark.

What if the target size is too small?

The estimate panel warns when the bitrate is very low and suggests lowering resolution, reducing frame rate, trimming, or removing audio.
