Free tools

Every tool runs on your device

Each one does a single job well, with its own settings, FAQ and honest size estimate.

Edit & adjust

Everyday jobs

Made for the limits you actually hit

Discord & chat apps

Free Discord caps uploads at 10MB. Hit the number exactly instead of guessing.

Compress to 10MB

Email attachments

Gmail and Outlook stop at 25MB. Shrink the clip and send it as a normal attachment.

Compress to 25MB

Social & messaging

WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage recompress big files badly. Do it yourself first, on your terms.

Compress for WhatsApp

Free up storage

Downscale 4K screen recordings to 1080p and reclaim most of the space without noticing.

Resize to 1080p

See the difference

Smaller file. Same clip.

Hardware encoding keeps the picture, drops the bulk. Drag a file above to try it on yours.

Example clip before compression
Original
48 MB
Example clip after compression
Compressed
9.7 MB

Example: a 48 MB phone clip compressed to Discord’s 10 MB limit. Your result depends on length and motion.

Why local

Built differently from cloud compressors

Cloud tools upload your video, queue it, encode it, then let you download it again. We skip all of that.

Nothing is uploaded

Encoding uses the hardware already in your phone or computer. Your footage never touches a server, so there is nothing to leak or delete.

Know the size before you start

Pick a percentage or an exact target like 10MB and see the estimated output instantly.

No watermark, no credits

Drop a file, download the result. No credits, no branding stamped on your video.

One tool per job

Compress, convert, trim, resize, GIF, audio — each tool does one thing well instead of hiding options in menus.

Works offline after first load

Once the engine is cached, you can process videos on a plane or a bad hotel connection.

Honest about limits

Browsers cap memory, so we stop at 1GB and hand off to the desktop app rather than pretend.
