Compress Video Without Uploading

Your video never leaves your device. This tool runs ffmpeg entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — no server, no cloud, no privacy concerns.

Powered by ffmpeg.wasm - runs entirely in your browser

How browser-based compression works

When you drop a file into this tool, it is loaded into your browser's memory using the File API. ffmpeg.wasm (a WebAssembly port of FFmpeg) runs the H.264 encoding entirely within JavaScript. No network requests are made with your video data.

How to Get Started

1.
Select your video — Drop the file into the tool — it reads from your local filesystem.
2.
Processing stays local — ffmpeg.wasm encodes the video using your CPU and browser memory.
3.
Download locally — The compressed file is generated in-browser and downloaded directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I verify no upload is happening?

Open Chrome DevTools (F12) > Network tab. Filter by "video" or check all requests. You'll see no upload requests when compressing.

Is this safe for confidential videos?

Yes. For business meetings, medical content, or personal videos, this is safer than cloud-based compressors.

What about the tool-site cookies?

The tool uses minimal cookies. No video data or metadata is transmitted.

Can I use this on a corporate network?

Yes. Since no video data is uploaded, corporate IT policies around data upload don't apply.
