Reduce Video File Size in Your Browser

Compress MP4, WebM, MOV, and other supported video formats before emailing, uploading, or archiving them. Choose a light, balanced, strong, or maximum compression preset based on the file-size and quality tradeoff you can accept.

Why you should compress your videos

High-resolution or high-bitrate footage can exceed upload limits and take longer to transfer. Re-encoding can reduce the bitrate and resulting file size, but stronger compression removes more visual detail. It cannot guarantee a particular target size because the result depends on the source codec, duration, resolution, motion, and selected preset.

Choosing a compression level

Start with Balanced and inspect the downloaded result. Choose Light when retaining detail matters more than size, or Strong/Maximum when a smaller file matters more. If you must stay under a fixed upload limit, you may need to try more than one setting or also reduce resolution.

Compression runs locally with FFmpeg WebAssembly, so the selected file is not uploaded to RizCraft. Large files can use significant CPU and memory; keep the browser tab open until processing finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will my video get?
The reduction varies with the original codec, bitrate, resolution, duration, and chosen preset. A file that is already efficiently compressed may shrink very little. Compare the displayed input and output sizes before downloading.
Which compression level should I choose?
Start with Balanced. Use Light when detail matters more than size and Strong or Maximum when size matters more. Keep the original file for archival use because every lossy re-encode can reduce quality.
Will my video have a watermark added?
Never. All compressed videos downloaded from RizCraft are 100% clean and free of watermarks.
Is my video uploaded to a cloud server?
No. All compression processing is carried out locally on your device in your web browser. Your private videos never leave your computer.
