01
Compress video to a smaller file size
Use the video compressor when a clip is too large to share or store. Start with a quality preset or an approximate target size.
Choose a video or try the sample in the Compress tab.
Select 1080p, 720p, 540p or 360p, or a 10, 25 or 100 MB target. Smaller settings can reduce detail.
Compress, compare the original and output sizes, then preview and download the MP4.
Check your result
Review moving subjects, small text and the final file size. If it exceeds your upload limit, try a smaller preset or trim unnecessary footage first.
Target sizes are approximate. An already efficient video may get larger after re-encoding. Compression is not lossless and does not guarantee a specific reduction.
Use Repair for a readable H.264 or HEVC video with broken frames. The scan checks frame data and decoding before offering an export.
Select the damaged video and run Check this video in the Repair tab.
Review the damaged sections, frames to remove and playable duration.
Save playable sections, then watch the MP4 and check its audio before using it. Keep the original file.
Check your result
The result may be shorter because damaged frame groups are removed. Audio follows the retained timeline. A healthy video can also be saved in a fresh MP4 container.
Missing footage and a missing MP4 index (moov) cannot be reconstructed. This is recovery of readable sections, not guaranteed repair of every corrupt file.
A filename extension identifies the container, not the codec inside it. Browser support depends on both.
Task
Input and output
Compress / edit
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV inputs when the browser can decode their tracks. Compression exports H.264 or supported H.265/HEVC MP4; editing exports H.264 MP4. Resolution is never increased.
Repair
Readable H.264 or HEVC video. Retained video packets keep their codec in a new MP4; missing indexes cannot be rebuilt.
Audio / storage
Compatible AAC can be copied. Editing or other decodable audio may need AAC conversion and stereo downmixing. Large exports depend on available temporary storage.
Video compression, trimming and repair FAQ
Can I compress an MP4 to exactly 25 MB?+
Choose 25 MB as the target, then check the downloaded size. The encoder aims for a smaller file, but bitrate control varies by browser and content. Audio also takes part of the budget. The page tells you if the output exceeds the target.
What is the difference between trimming and cropping?+
Trimming removes time from the beginning and end. Cropping removes picture area around your selection. To make a landscape clip fit a vertical frame, choose 9:16 and move the crop box to your subject; preview before exporting.
Is video repair the same as removing background noise?+
No. Repair checks damaged video frames and saves playable sections. If the video plays correctly but its sound is noisy, use the separate video noise removal tool.
Does my video leave my device?+
Video processing happens locally in your browser. No account is needed. Close the page to release its previews; temporary output files are cleared when you change files or on a later visit.
Which browsers and videos work?+
A recent Chrome, Edge or Safari works best. Compression and editing need an available video encoder. Input support depends on the codec, and very large outputs depend on available device storage.
Can every damaged video be repaired?+
No. Repair removes undecodable sections; it cannot invent missing footage or rebuild a missing MP4 index. Damaged keyframes may require removing an entire group of frames. Always review the exported video.
FIELD GUIDE
Choose the right video workflow: compress, edit or recover
The video workspace has three different jobs. Pick the mode that matches the problem before adjusting settings; compression, editing and damaged-frame recovery produce different results.
Start with the result you need
Choose Compress to reduce a file for sharing, Edit to trim or reframe a clip, and Repair to inspect playback problems and keep decodable sections. Repair is not a general enhancer and cannot recreate picture data that is missing.
The three modes have different inputs, decisions and outputs.
Compress by balancing quality and target size
Choose a quality tier or a target file size according to where the video will be sent. A target is an estimate, not a guarantee: source content, audio and encoder limits all affect the final size. Already efficient footage may not get smaller at the selected quality.
If the result is larger than the original or misses the target, try a lower quality tier, a shorter clip or a different size target. Keep a copy of the source so you can compare details and retry without loss to the original.
Edit framing and duration before export
Set the start and end around the part you need, then choose a crop ratio, rotation and frame rate. Crop presets use a centered composition unless you adjust the crop area. Preview the subject near the edges and check that a vertical or square crop does not cut off important content. Edited output is H.264 MP4 and may differ in quality or size from the source.
Repair means skipping frames the browser cannot decode
Repair scans supported H.264 or HEVC video for frames that fail decoding or lack usable references. It can omit damaged frames and join the remaining playable sections while preserving their audio timing where supported.
It cannot recover missing pixels, rebuild a lost MP4 index or guarantee smooth transitions around damage. Some keyframe failures can require dropping a larger run of frames. Read the scan summary before export and inspect the result around each removed section.
Keep processing local and leave the tab open
The video workspace processes the selected file in the browser without uploading it. Encoding uses device memory, storage and supported codecs; large files may need time and free disk space. Keep the tab open during scanning and export. The original file is not modified.
Check the downloaded MP4
Play the result in a normal player before sharing. Confirm the intended crop and duration, review audio and picture synchronization, and check that the file is smaller when compression was the goal. For repair, look closely at transitions around skipped frames. If playback fails, try a supported browser or export a shorter section.
Choose a mode with this checklist
The file is too large to send: use Compress and compare size with quality.
The clip needs different framing or a shorter range: use Edit.
Some frames will not decode: use Repair and review the scan summary.
The source file must stay intact: retain it and inspect the separate export.
