Compress a Video

Tell the editor how big the file may be, and it makes the video fit. Because nothing is uploaded, you don't wait for a big file to go anywhere: it's compressed right on your device.

How to Compress a Video

  1. Open your video in the video editor.
  2. In the Compress tool on the left, press WhatsApp (16 MB), Discord (20 MB) or Email (18 MB), or type your own size in Make it under … MB.
  3. The editor works out the quality, and makes the picture smaller if it has to, so the file lands under that size.
  4. Press Save MP4 at the top right.

Questions

Will the video look worse?

The smaller the target, the more detail has to go. A short clip squeezed into a few MB still looks fine on a phone; a long video into the same size gets a smaller picture. Trimming the parts you don't need first is the best way to keep quality.

Is there a quicker way to just get a smaller file?

Yes. In the same Compress tool, set Save as to Smaller file. It makes a lighter file without aiming for an exact size.

Can I compress and edit in one go?

Yes. Cut, add subtitles, music or a logo, then save once: everything goes into the same compressed MP4.
