About this conversion
Video files from phones and screen recorders are enormous because they're recorded at a far higher bitrate than you need for sharing. Compressing a video shrinks it to fit email limits, messaging apps and upload caps — usually cutting 50-90% of the size while staying visually close to the original.
This compressor runs the FFmpeg encoder inside your browser, so even large personal videos are never uploaded anywhere. Pick a quality level, cap the resolution for big screen recordings, or set an exact target size (handy for a 25 MB email limit), and the whole job happens on your own device.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can my video be compressed?
Phone and screen recordings typically shrink 50-90% at the default quality, because their original bitrate is far higher than needed. The target-size mode lets you hit an exact limit, like 25 MB for email or Discord.
Is compressing here really private?
Yes. Traditional compressors upload your video to their servers. Here the encoder (FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly) runs inside your browser — the video never leaves your device, and you can verify that in your browser's network inspector.
What settings should I use?
Start with Medium quality — it's visually close to the original at a fraction of the size. Add a resolution cap (1080p or 720p) for big screen recordings, or switch to target-size mode when you must fit a specific upload limit.
Is there a file size limit?
Files up to about 1.5 GB are supported. Because processing happens in your browser's memory rather than on a server, very large files depend on your device's available RAM.

Who we are — and what we refuse to do
We're a small team that got tired of "free" converters treating your files as the product.
So we built Converting Free the only way we'd trust ourselves: the whole toolbox — image, document and archive converters, compressors, time-zone and unit tools, calculators and text utilities — does its work on your device. Open your browser's network tab while you convert something; you'll watch nothing leave.
We don't run ads, we don't set tracking cookies, and we don't operate a server that stores files. That isn't a privacy-policy promise — it's how the site is engineered. There is simply nowhere for your data to go.
Why we built it
Search for "convert X to Y" and the top results usually want something from you before they'll lift a finger:
- —Your file, uploaded to a server you know nothing about
- —Your patience, spent on queues, captchas and "premium speed" upsells
- —Your data, harvested by the trackers stacked beneath the ads
We think a converter should be a tool, not a trade.
Ours takes nothing from you: no uploads, no accounts, no tracking.
