About Compress Video
Compress Video reduces file size so clips clear upload caps on forms, drive links, and messaging apps.
Upload the video, select a compression level, and download the smaller file. Stronger settings shrink more and may soften fine detail - compare against your original before deleting anything.
Use this when a portal rejects a large export or when you need faster shares. Keep a master copy for future edits.
Example workflow
Start with a short representative clip and the lightest compression setting that fits your size requirement. Stronger compression can reduce fine detail; no setting guarantees a specific target size or a lossless result.
Output checks and limits
Accepted inputs: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WEBM. The current processing duration limit is 30 minutes. The upload size shown for your plan also applies; codec compatibility and processing time can still limit a job. Check playback, duration and sound in the downloaded file before deleting the original.
Benefits of Compress Video
Frequently asked questions
Will compression lower quality?
Some detail can reduce as bitrate drops. Start with light compression and increase only if the file is still too large.
What formats can I compress?
Common options include MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, and WebM within the upload limit.
Is the compressed file still editable?
Yes as a normal video file, but further edits are better done from an uncompressed or lightly compressed master.
