Chromebook and browser-based compression
Chromebooks are limited in native app options for video editing. Browser-based tools fill this gap perfectly — just open Chrome, drop your file, and compress. Mid-range Chromebooks process about 15-30MB per minute.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on all Chromebooks?
Yes, on any Chromebook running Chrome. Older Chromebooks with limited RAM may be slower or struggle with very large files.
Is it faster than using the Android app?
Browser-based processing on a Chromebook is often faster than Android apps because it uses the native Chrome WebAssembly runtime.
Can I compress a video to upload to Google Drive?
Yes. After downloading, upload to Google Drive for free storage. Compressed videos use less of your Drive quota.
Does it work offline?
No. The tool requires an internet connection to load initially, but all video processing happens locally.
