What happens to your file? It stays in this browser tab while the tool creates the output.

Best settings and limits

Best first try

Use 720p for a balanced result. If processing is slow, try a shorter clip or 480p.

When this may fail

Browser compression is convenient but memory-limited. Desktop browsers handle larger files more reliably than phones.

Privacy boundary

The selected video file stays on your device while the tool creates the output.

Frequently asked questions

Is browser video compression the same as uploading?

No. The selected video is processed locally in the browser tab.

Does this work offline?

After the app code is loaded, processing happens locally. A fresh visit still needs the page and engine files to load.

Why is browser compression slower than cloud tools?

Your own device does the encoding work, so speed depends on CPU, memory, and browser limits.
