How it works

  1. 01

    Choose a video from your device. It is read locally; nothing is sent anywhere.

  2. 02

    Set the options — range, format or quality — and press Run.

  3. 03

    Download the result. Cutting and muting copy the original streams and finish in seconds.

About this tool

Pick a longest side (1920, 1280 or 854 pixels) and a quality level. The video is re-encoded on your device, so nothing is uploaded and there is no queue. Medium quality at 1280 px typically cuts a phone recording to a third of its size while staying perfectly watchable on a screen.

Questions

Which video formats work?
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV. AVI, WMV and FLV are not readable in a browser yet; convert them on your computer first.
Is the quality reduced?
Trim and Mute copy the original video packets, so quality is identical. Convert and Compress re-encode using the codecs built into your browser.
Why is there a size limit?
Files up to 500 MB are free; browser memory is the real ceiling. Plus raises the limit to 4 GB.
