Why bother with this page

Because it does the one thing you came for.

Some things refuse to accept a large file, and no amount of arguing helps. This page makes the file smaller so the thing on the other end says yes.

Good for exactly this

Sending previews to clients, getting past an upload limit, freeing up your drive and posting somewhere with strict caps.

No nasty surprises

You get a widely playable MP4 at the original frame size — nothing resized, nothing cropped. Your upload is deleted as soon as the job is done.

Nobody else sees it

Your upload is deleted the moment the job finishes. The result is private to you, disappears by itself after 24 hours, and you can wipe it sooner with one click.

Before you ask

Video compression, answered

01What do I get back?

A standard MP4 that plays on phones, browsers, social platforms and presentation software without anyone having to install a codec.

02Does it make the picture smaller too?

No. The frame size stays exactly as you sent it — only the file weight comes down.

03What if I also need to cut or caption it?

Then skip this page and open the editor instead. It handles cuts, captions, sound and export in one go, and it is just as free.

Or make something bigger

This file could be a whole video.

Cut it, layer it, caption it, put a voice on it and export an MP4 — free, in the same browser tab. Start the editor with your original footage.
