About Video Compressor
Video Compressor is a free tool for making videos smaller while keeping them watchable. It shows real encoder progress, reports measured sizes, and says clearly when a size target can't be met.
It is run by LoverPDF, who also runs our sister site File Compressor for images. PDF compression is on LoverPDF. Both sites share one server in Europe and the same privacy rules.
How it works
Videos are inspected with ffprobe and encoded with FFmpeg (libx264 and AAC) in an isolated worker with a hard time limit. Each output is checked for a valid video stream, audio and a matching duration before you can download it. More in How video compression works.
