Compress a video online

On the free plan, the limit is 100 MB per file. Upgrade to Pro to process files up to 2 GB.

AwesomeToolkit accepts MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, FLV and WMV. The output file is always MP4 for maximum compatibility.

Our presets are calibrated for the best size/quality balance. The 'WhatsApp' preset reduces size by 70–90% with quality suitable for mobile viewing.

Your files are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted from our servers after 1 hour. We never share your data.

Batch compression is available in the Pro plan at $12/month.

Use AwesomeToolkit's 'WhatsApp' preset. It compresses your MP4 or MOV video by up to 90% to meet WhatsApp's file size limit (16 MB), with quality optimized for mobile viewing. The compression takes only a few seconds, no sign-up needed.

Resolution is the number of pixels in each frame (e.g. 1920×1080). Bitrate is the amount of data used per second of video. You can keep a high resolution and reduce the bitrate to get a smaller file with only a slight quality loss — that is exactly what our presets do.

Modern phones record in 4K at 60 fps with very high bitrates — one minute of video can easily exceed 400 MB. Social platforms and messaging apps expect much lower bitrates. Compressing the video re-encodes it at an optimised bitrate so the file shrinks dramatically while looking nearly identical on a phone screen.

No. The audio track is preserved during compression. We re-encode the audio at 128 kbps AAC, which is transparent to the ear while keeping the file small.

Absolutely. Screen recordings are an ideal candidate for compression because they contain a lot of static areas. Our encoder detects these areas and allocates fewer bits to them, often achieving 80–95 % size reduction with no visible quality loss.
