Big files, no upload wait
A video worth compressing to 200 MB often starts at a gigabyte or more. Online compressors upload all of it before they begin. Here your computer reads the file straight from your disk, so the work starts at once. The largest video we tested was a 2.35 GB, 10-minute 4K film.

Why your video never leaves your computer
Online video tools upload your file to their servers, process it there, and send it back. That is slow for big videos and costs them money for every minute, so free plans cap your file size or add watermarks, and your video sits on someone else's computer.
Here your own computer does the work, inside this tab. Nothing is uploaded, so there is nothing to cap: no file size limit, no daily limit and no watermark.
Questions
Does it work with 4K video?
Yes. The picture is brought down to a size that fits 200 MB, and you see that size before you start.
Is there a limit on the original file?
No. The file is read from your disk, not uploaded, so its size only decides how long the work takes.
Is it really free?
Yes. Your computer does the work, so a video costs us nothing to process. No account, no watermark, no limits.
Is my video uploaded?
No. It is processed inside this browser tab and saved straight back to your computer.
Which browsers work?
Recent Chrome, Edge and Safari on a computer. Chrome and Edge are fastest on most machines. Phones work for short videos.
How long does it take?
In Chrome, a one-minute 1080p video took 13–19 seconds on the laptops we tested and about 40 seconds on a computer without a graphics chip. Safari can be slower.
Can I close the tab while it works?
Keep the tab open and in front until it finishes. Browsers slow down background tabs.
