How to compress a video online — 4 steps

  1. Upload your video: drag and drop or click to select an MP4, MOV or WEBM file.
  2. Choose a preset: pick High quality, Balanced or Smallest with one click.
  3. Set the resolution: keep the original or resize to 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K to reduce size further.
  4. Compress & download: run the compressor and save the web-optimized MP4 — no watermark, no signup.

Compressing video is handy when a file is too large to email, upload to a website, or send through a chat app. The output uses standard H.264 + AAC with faststart enabled, so it streams without a full download and plays on almost any device. Everything runs in your browser with nothing to install, and uploaded files are automatically deleted after 10 minutes. The tool is free to use.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my video get?

It depends on the preset and resolution you pick. The strongest setting (CRF 32 with a 720p scale) can shrink a file by up to about 80%. Lighter presets keep more quality with a smaller reduction.

Which presets should I use?

High quality keeps the video close to the original with a modest size cut. Balanced is a good middle ground for sharing online. Smallest gives the biggest reduction and is ideal for email or chat apps.

What formats and resolutions are supported?

You can compress MP4, MOV, WEBM and similar files. Resize to 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K, or keep the original resolution. Output is standard MP4 (H.264 + AAC) that plays everywhere.

Does compression add a watermark?

No. TaoClip does not add any watermark to your compressed video.

Are my files kept after compression?
