About MP4 Video Compression Technology
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the standard video format for web, mobile, and streaming platforms. Large MP4 files can be difficult to share or upload. Our video compression tool uses advanced encoding techniques to reduce file size by adjusting bitrate, resolution, and codec settings while maintaining the best possible visual quality. All processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly and FFmpeg.js.For an upload limit stated in KB or MB, confirm the portal’s own rule and inspect the downloaded file size. Do not assume a percentage reduction meets that limit. Preserve the original if document text, signatures or forms must remain usable.

Compress video
Re-encode with a lower bitrate or resolution. Check playback, sound and the final size; a strict target may need further adjustments.
There is no guaranteed saving or exact target for every file. If the result is larger, some tools return the original; compare its format and size before sharing. For an upload limit stated in KB or MB, confirm the portal’s own rule and inspect the downloaded file size. Do not assume a percentage reduction meets that limit. Preserve the original if document text, signatures or forms must remain usable.
