Compress Video Beta

Verified working · July 2, 2026

Shrink a video's file size for sharing or uploading. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Click to choose a file or drag a video here

Supports .mp4, .webm, .mov, .mkv, .avi

Runs on a real video engine loaded into your browser (FFmpeg, compiled to WebAssembly) — about 30MB, downloaded once and cached for the rest of this visit. Nothing is uploaded; compression happens on your device. Savings vary a lot by source — a video that's already compressed won't shrink much further.

How it works

  1. Upload the video you want to shrink.
  2. Pick a quality level based on how much you need to save.
  3. Compress and download the smaller video.
  4. Choose Light, Medium, or Strong compression — savings vary by source, and an already-compressed video won't shrink much further.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my video get?

It depends on the original bitrate and the quality level you choose.

Will video quality visibly drop?

Lower settings save more space but introduce visible compression artifacts.

Is this good for social media uploads?

Yes, it's designed for shrinking files under upload size limits.

What's the difference between the quality levels?

Lower settings compress harder for a smaller file; higher settings keep more detail at a larger size.

Will compressing change the video's resolution?

No — only file size and bitrate change, not the dimensions.

Your files are never uploaded. Gotool.xyz runs entirely as JavaScript in your browser. Your files are processed in memory and never touch a server — nothing to breach, nothing to clean up. Close the tab and it's like it never happened. The only thing we count is which tool ran (just the name, e.g. "merge") so we know what people find useful — never your file, its name, its size, or anything in it.
