How to use this tool
- Choose Single file or Batch, then select files of the supported type.
- Select the preset that balances quality and file size for your needs.
- Process the clip and compare the output before downloading.
Good to know
This tool is free without sign-up, with unlimited processing and exports within the displayed input limits.
- Input is limited to 100 MiB on Free or 200 MiB on Pro. Output is capped at a 1,080-pixel short edge and a 1,920-pixel long edge, without upscaling. Re-encoding may reduce detail, and an already efficient file may not become smaller.
- Choose Single file or Batch on this page. Both modes keep their own files and settings. Your tool access and export limits apply to both. Batch mode processes files sequentially, reports individual failures and keeps completed outputs when cancelled. Size targets are best effort. Supported video references use H.264/AAC; GIF clips are limited to 20 seconds.
