Compress Video Online — Free, No Upload, No Watermark

All tools

Why process video in the browser?

Every major online video tool — Clideo, VEED, Kapwing — uploads your file to a server, compresses it there, and sends it back. That means waiting for the upload (your 500 MB clip over a typical US connection), trusting a stranger's server with your footage, and accepting their terms of service. SquishClip does none of that.

The compression engine uses WebCodecs, the same hardware-accelerated video API Chrome uses for Google Meet. It runs at 200+ fps for 1080p H.264 — typically faster than uploading the file would take — and your video never leaves the tab. For large files (200 MB+) this isn't just a privacy benefit; it's a speed benefit.

About the tools

Compress to size calculates the maximum bitrate that fits your clip into the target file size, then re-encodes using WebCodecs. One pass gives you an approximate result; a two-pass mode (coming soon) hits the target byte-accurately.

MKV and MOV to MP4 are remux operations — the video stream is copied frame-for-frame with no quality loss. Only the container changes (and PCM audio is re-encoded to AAC, fixing the classic "OBS audio missing in Premiere" problem).
