Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a video for WhatsApp?
Choose “Under 16 MB (WhatsApp)” and compress. The video bitrate is calculated from the video length so the file lands just under the limit.
Why is compressing a long video slow?
Everything happens on your device, not on a server, so speed depends on your phone or computer. Longer and higher-resolution videos take longer; 720p or 480p is much faster.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Video Compressor runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and are never sent to a server.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. The only limit is your device's memory. Very large files work best in a desktop browser.
Is Video Compressor really free?
Yes. There's no account and no watermark. A short optional ad, or a 20-second wait, unlocks each download. That's how we keep it free.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, processing happens locally, so it keeps working even if your connection drops.
