How to use this tool

  1. Choose an MP4 video from your device.
  2. Select a target MB size and the resolution you want to keep.
  3. Compress to MP4 with H.264 and download the smaller file.

How MP4 compression works

The tool estimates a video bitrate from your target size and duration, then uses H.264 output settings to reduce the MP4 file while preserving usable quality.

H.264 output by default

MP4 output uses H.264 in v1 because it is broadly compatible with browsers, phones, chat apps, and upload forms.

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

Can I compress MP4 without uploading?

Yes. The video is read and compressed in your browser session.

Does MP4 compression reduce quality?

Usually yes, because smaller files need less bitrate. The estimate panel shows when quality may become visibly low.

Can I keep the MP4 format?

Yes. MP4 is the default output format for this page.

Can I remove audio to make the MP4 smaller?

Yes. Choose Remove audio in the audio setting before compression.
