CompressYourVideo
Free video compressor. Files never leave your device.
Free video compressor that runs entirely in your browser. Pick a platform — WhatsApp 16MB, Discord 10MB, Gmail 25MB, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram — and the right encoder settings are picked for you. Or pick a custom target size. Hardware-accelerated WebCodecs on Chrome/Safari 17+, ffmpeg.wasm fallback on older browsers. Either way, your file never leaves your device. Up to 2 GB. No signup, no watermark, no ads. Available in 17 languages.
I'm Sai, and I built CompressYourVideo because every "free online video compressor" had the same pattern: upload your video to a server, hit a paywall, watch a watermark land on your file, or hand over your email.
This one runs entirely in your browser. Your video file never leaves your device — there's no upload progress bar because there's nothing to upload. Compression happens on your machine with hardware acceleration on Chrome / Edge / Safari 17+, falling back to ffmpeg.wasm on older browsers. Same browser tab either way.
A few things I tried to get right:
- Platform-aware presets: pick "WhatsApp" and we hit 16MB exactly. Pick "Discord" and we hit 10MB. No fiddling with bitrate sliders. - Honest fallbacks: if your source is already smaller than the target, we tell you and skip the encoder instead of producing a slightly-bigger file. - 17 languages: started seeing real Spanish, Hindi, and Portuguese traffic the week the localizations went live, so it stays. - No ads, no signup, no email, no watermark, no paid tier ever.
It's free.
Where the existing tools beat us: VEED has a real editor, EZGif handles GIFs better, Kapwing has team features. If you need those, use those. If you just need to shrink a phone video to fit WhatsApp without an account, I think this is the lightest tool that gets the job done.
Would love your feedback — especially the weird video file lying around your hard drive that breaks every other tool. https://compressyourvideo.com
