Shrink it until it clears a sending limit, keep only the part you need, drop the resolution, or grab a still from inside it. All of it runs in the browser no uploads, no queue.

Files are processed on your own device nothing is uploaded to a server.

Still about media files

Questions that come up often

What people most often ask before handing over a file privacy, size limits, and when quality actually drops.

Does my video get uploaded?

It doesn't. Video is the most painful kind of file to upload: the biggest, the slowest, and the most likely to hold something not ready for other eyes. Everything is handled inside the tab you already have open using WebCodecs the browser's own video encoder, accelerated by your hardware. Even a 500 MB file doesn't wait on the network; the only thing setting the pace is your device's speed.

Why does compressing a video take so long?

Because every frame is genuinely taken apart and put back together. A one-minute video holds around 1,800 full images, and all of them have to be read, resized, and written back out. Your hardware helps speed it up, but it still takes time and no server could take that work over without you uploading the video first.

Why can't I run some of the tools?

Tools that re-encode video need WebCodecs available in Chrome, Edge, Safari 16.4 and up, and Firefox 133 and up. If your browser doesn't support it, the page says so at the start, not after you've picked a file. Tools that only grab stills from a video work everywhere.

Which bitrate should I use?

As a rough guide: 1 Mbps is enough for 480p, 2 Mbps for 720p, and 4 Mbps for 1080p. If you just want to send it in a chat, drop the resolution to 720p first that usually cuts far more size than lowering the bitrate alone, and it still looks good on a phone screen.

Why does my HEVC video come out in a different format?

Browsers can read HEVC but can't write it. So an HEVC video going in comes out as H.264 inside an MP4, or VP9 inside a WebM. Both are more widely supported anyway the result plays on more devices than the original did.

Is there a file size limit?

None from us, because there's no server receiving anything. The limit comes from device memory. Video is processed as a stream rather than held entirely in memory, so large files usually still go through what changes is how long it takes. For hours-long footage, trim it first.
