Free Video Compressor
Make a video much smaller without making it look worse. No account, no watermark, no ad.
The download link expires 1 hour after you download. Nothing is added to your file.
Drop a video (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and 7 more formats, up to 100 MB) and get an MP4 that plays everywhere. On Balanced, a 60.6 MB 1080p clip at phone-camera bitrate (an animated test film) came out at 9.5 MB, 84% smaller, at the same resolution. No account, no watermark, no ad before the download.
Why use Video Compressor?
Three plain choices
Smaller file, Balanced or Best quality. Or say the size you need: fit it under 10 MB for a chat app, 25 MB for email or 50 MB.
Measured, not promised
We show the real before and after size of your file, and the table below shows how close the picture stays to the original on test files.
Then get the words
One click turns the same video into a transcript. The first 30 minutes are free without an account.
How it works
Drop your video
Pick or drag a video up to 100 MB. MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, M4V, 3GP, MPG and MTS all work.
Pick how small
Balanced suits most videos. Smaller file also lowers the picture to 720p. Or choose a size to fit under.
Download the MP4
Your video comes back as an H.264 MP4 named after your file, with -compressed added.
What you get, measured
Real files, compressed on this page's engine
Measured November 15, 2026. SSIM compares every frame with the original: 1 means identical, above 0.95 is hard to tell apart on a phone.
Phone cameras record at a very high bitrate so the file is safe to edit. That is why the same clip often shrinks by 80% or more with no visible change. A video that was already compressed, like a download or a screen recording, has less to give.
Pictures larger than 1080p are brought down to 1080p. Sound is kept as AAC stereo.
| Your file | Setting | Result | Picture vs original (SSIM, 1 = identical) |

| Test film at phone-camera bitrate (12 Mbps), 1080p, 45 s, 60.6 MB | Balanced | 9.5 MB (84% smaller) | 0.972 |
| Test film at phone-camera bitrate (12 Mbps), 1080p, 45 s, 60.6 MB | Smaller file (720p) | 3.7 MB (94% smaller) | 0.941 |
| Test film at phone-camera bitrate (12 Mbps), 1080p, 45 s, 60.6 MB | Best quality | 15.0 MB (75% smaller) | 0.983 |
| Test film at phone-camera bitrate (12 Mbps), 1080p, 45 s, 60.6 MB | Fit under 10 MB | 9.9 MB | 0.971 |
| Animation, 1080p, 3 min, 58.4 MB (already light) | Balanced | 27.8 MB (52% smaller) | 0.977 |
Frequently asked questions
Drop the video on this page, keep Balanced or pick another setting, and press Compress video. When the bar finishes, download the MP4. No account and no watermark.
Choose Fit under 10 MB or 25 MB before you press Compress. We set the bitrate from the video's length so the file lands just under that size. A very long video may not fit 10 MB and still look good; we tell you if the target is too small.
Compression always removes some detail, but on Balanced our test clip kept an SSIM of 0.972 against the original at the same resolution, which is hard to tell apart on a phone. Best quality keeps more detail and makes a bigger file.
100 MB per file, without an account.
You can download the compressed file until one hour after your first download, or for 24 hours if you never download it. After that the link stops working and the job is removed. No watermark is added.
