Frequently asked questions

Which resolution is best for WhatsApp?

720p is a good balance between quality and size. 480p is even lighter, ideal for slow connections.

Why does compression take time?

The video is re-encoded on your device with no server. Expect roughly the video's length on a recent computer, a bit more on mobile.

Does compression change the format?

The video is exported as MP4 H.264, playable on every phone and computer.

Is the sound kept?

Yes, audio is kept and lightly compressed.

Is this tool really free?

Yes, 100% free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no usage limit.

Are my files safe?

Yes. Processing happens directly in your browser: your files are never uploaded to a server or stored.

When to use it

Compressing a video lets you send it on WhatsApp, by email (25 MB limit), post it faster on social media or free up space on a full phone.

Our tips

  • 💡 For WhatsApp, 720p at “medium” quality is plenty.
  • 💡 Going from 4K to 1080p often cuts the size by four.
  • 💡 Trim unnecessary parts first — that is the biggest saving.
