About Video Compressor
Reduce the size of a browser-supported video by lowering bitrate or dimensions. This helps with shorter clips for sharing or storage. The output is WebM, and the final file size depends on the source content; inspect actual byte savings before downloading.
The browser decodes the source video, draws scaled frames to a canvas, and records the result at the chosen bitrate. The output is a WebM file; supported source formats and encoding speed depend on the browser and device. Presets change bitrate and resolution but cannot guarantee a particular final file size. Use the high, medium, or light preset and inspect the displayed output size.
High-resolution (4K) video encoding requires a modern CPU or GPU hardware acceleration. Processing speed and format support depend on the browser, device memory, and source file. Keep the original material supplied to Video Compressor until its compressed Video has been checked for the intended use.
