How it works

How to compress a video

  1. Add up to 20 videos: MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM, 500 MB each.
  2. Choose Balanced to keep up to 1080p, Small for sharing at up to 720p, Smallest for chat at up to 480p, or Target size to stay under a limit such as 10 or 25 MB. Use Also to resize, rotate or remove the sound in the same pass.
  3. Click Compress video, play each result and check the saving on its row, then download one video or a ZIP.

Check a target size before sharing

Try the 12-second practice MP4, a public synthetic clip with labelled moving shapes and a quiet tone. Add it, choose Target size and enter 1 in Largest size per video (MB), then click Compress video.

Read the result's actual size and play it: check the moving edges, small labels and sound. This simple practice clip may already be compact, so it does not predict the saving on camera footage. If the row says No saving, keep the original or try a shorter selection.

For your own video, use the limit shown by the receiving app, allow room for other attachments or email encoding, and check the downloaded file's exact byte count in your file manager. A smaller target can blur detail; shorten the clip or raise the limit if the result is hard to read.

Frequently asked questions

Useful details

4 answers
How much smaller will my video be?

The saving depends on the source bitrate, duration and detail. Small re-encodes at up to 720p and can substantially reduce a high-bitrate phone recording. A video that is already compact may not shrink; its row then says No saving, and you can keep the original.

How does Target size work?

Toolkitta divides the size you choose by the length of the video, keeps a small margin for the file structure and sound, and lowers the resolution until each frame has enough data to look clean. If the first result is still over the limit, it encodes once more at a corrected bitrate. A very long video may not fit a very small limit; you are told before compressing.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Your browser reads and encodes the video on this device using its built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server, and there is no watermark or account.

Why is it slower on some devices?

Encoding speed depends on your device and browser. Computers and recent phones with hardware encoders are fast; older devices take longer. Keep the tab open until the download is ready.
