Video Compressor makes a video file smaller so it fits where you need it: under Discord’s 20 MB limit, into an email, or onto a full phone. It runs in your browser and uses your device’s own video encoder, so the video is never uploaded, there is no sign-up and no watermark.
How to compress a video
- Click Choose a video or drop an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV file on the page.
- Pick how small: 30%, 50% or 70% smaller, or a size such as Under 20 MB.
- Click Compress video, play the result to check it, then Download video.
Which setting to use
| You want to | Pick |
|---|---|
| Send on Discord (free accounts) | Under 20 MB, or open Compress Video for Discord |
| Older chat apps and forums with a 10 MB cap | Under 10 MB |
| Attach to an email | Under 25 MB |
| Save space, keep it looking the same | 30% or 50% smaller |
| Send a long video quickly | 70% smaller, or 720p |
| Share a screen recording | 50% smaller (screen content compresses well) |
Good to know
- The output is MP4 with H.264 video and AAC sound, which plays on every phone, computer and app.
- Lowering the resolution (1080p, 720p, 480p) gives a cleaner picture than squeezing a large frame into very few bits; for small targets this happens automatically.
- Remove sound saves a little more space, for clips where audio is not needed.
