How it works
How to compress a video on your phone
No settings to learn. Tell the app where the video is going and it works out the size, resolution and bitrate for you.
- 1
Pick a video, photo or audio file
Choose files from your gallery or Files, record a clip, or share them in from WhatsApp, Photos or any other app.
- 2
Choose where it's going
Tap a preset — WhatsApp, Email 25 MB, Discord 10 MB, Instagram — or type an exact size. You see the new file size before you compress.
- 3
Save or share the smaller file
Compare before and after, then save to your gallery or share it on. The original video is never changed.
Presets
Compress video for WhatsApp, email, Discord & Instagram
Every preset is sized for where the file is going, so it sends the first time.
Make a video small enough to email
Email 25 MB fits common attachment limits like Gmail's, so you can attach a video instead of sending a link.
Fit Discord's 10 MB limit
Share clips and gameplay on Discord without Nitro: the Discord preset lands under the free upload limit.
Resize photos for Instagram
Shrink photos to Instagram's 1350 px size as a sharp, light JPEG — often around 90% smaller than the camera original.
Optimize images for the web
Web optimized and WebP presets cut page weight for websites, blogs and online stores without visible loss.
Shrink voice notes & podcasts
Voice note, Podcast and Music presets compress audio to the bitrate it needs — a voice memo can be 80% smaller.

FAQ
Video compressor questions, answered
How do I compress a video on my phone?
Open Video Compressor, tap Video and pick a clip. Choose a preset such as WhatsApp share or Email 25 MB, or type the size you need, then tap Compress now. Save the smaller video to your gallery or share it straight on.
How can I reduce video size without losing quality?
Use HEVC (H.265) instead of H.264: it can make files up to 50% smaller at the same visible quality. Keep the resolution your viewers need — 1080p for phones — and pick a quality-first preset. The app shows the predicted size before you start, and lets you compare before and after.
How do I make a video small enough for WhatsApp or email?
Pick the WhatsApp share or Email 25 MB preset. For any other limit, enter it as a target size and the app lowers resolution and bitrate to fit, or tells you before you start if a clip can't reach it.
Are my videos uploaded to a server?
No. Every video, photo and audio file is compressed on your phone. There is no server and no account, so the app works offline, even in airplane mode.
Is the video compressor free?
Yes. The app is free to download and use, with ads. Pro removes the ads and the file-size and batch limits and unlocks every preset and format; it's available weekly, monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
Can it compress photos and audio too?
Yes. It compresses and converts photos (HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, RAW) and audio (MP3, AAC, M4A, WAV, FLAC, Opus), with presets for Instagram, the web, voice notes, podcasts and music.
Which video formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, M4V, 3GP, FLV, TS, MTS and M2TS, encoded as H.264, HEVC or VP9 up to 4K. You can also turn a clip into a GIF, or extract its sound as MP3, AAC, WAV or FLAC.
What is the best format for a small video file?
MP4 with HEVC (H.265) gives the smallest files at good quality and plays on modern iPhones and Android phones. Choose MP4 with H.264 when the video must play everywhere, including older computers and some websites.
