Compress Video FAQ
How do I compress a video to a smaller size?
Upload your video, choose a quality level or a target size such as 25 MB, optionally pick a lower resolution, then click “Compress video” and download the smaller MP4.
How do I make a video small enough for Discord?
Choose “Target size” and pick 10 MB. For long videos, also choose 720p or 480p so the picture stays sharp at the lower bitrate.
Will compressing reduce the video quality?
Some detail is traded for size, but “High quality” and “Balanced” usually look the same on phones and laptops. Lowering the resolution gives the biggest savings.
Is it safe to use this tool with private videos?
Yes. Your videos are processed entirely in your web browser using JavaScript on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to FaaTools servers, so we never see, store or share your data — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool keeps working.
Why is compression slow on my computer?
Video encoding is demanding. It runs on your own device, so speed depends on your hardware and browser. Chrome and Edge are usually fastest.
