Why use Video Compressor
Large video files are slow to upload to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram — and email providers cap attachments at 25MB. Reclip's compressor reduces file size by 40–80% while preserving as much visual quality as possible. No software to install, no watermarks added to your output.
Supported formats
Input: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV. Output: MP4. Resolution options from Original down to 240p.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to get you started fast.
How do I compress a video without losing quality?
To minimize quality loss, use Reclip's Minimal compression setting, which reduces file size while preserving as much visual clarity as possible. The High setting gives the best balance between quality and size for most use cases.
How do I make a video file smaller online?
Upload your video to Reclip's Video Compressor, select a compression level, and download a smaller file in seconds — no software needed. Most videos see 40–80% reduction at the High compression level.
What compression level should I use?
High gives the best balance for most use cases. Use Maximum if you need the smallest file possible (e.g. WhatsApp). Use Minimal if visual quality is the priority.
How do I compress a video to send via email?
Gmail supports attachments up to 25MB. Upload your video to Reclip, compress with the High setting at SD resolution, and most videos will fall under that limit and can be attached directly.
Can I compress a video for WhatsApp?
Yes. WhatsApp caps video messages at 16MB. Use Maximum compression and reduce resolution to 480p or 360p.
Does it add a watermark?
No. Reclip never adds a watermark to compressed output files.
What formats does it accept?
MP4, MOV, AVI, and MKV. All output is saved as MP4 for maximum compatibility.
Is there a file size limit for uploading?
File size limits depend on your Reclip plan. Free accounts support shorter clips; Pro and Creator plans support larger files.
Is my video stored after compression?
Files are processed securely and automatically deleted after you download. Reclip does not retain your videos.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The compressor works in any mobile browser on iPhone or Android — no app installation needed.
