What this tool does
Big video files hit limits everywhere: WhatsApp won't send them, email attachments bounce, and uploads crawl on a slow connection. Compress video shrinks the file size while keeping it watchable, with presets built around the platforms people actually send video through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ClipZap really free?
Yes. No hidden fees, no account required, no watermark added to your video.
Is my video uploaded to your servers?
No. Your file never leaves your device, all processing happens in your browser.
How small will my compressed video be?
It depends on the original file, but most videos compress to 50 to 70 percent of their original size on the Balanced setting.
What video formats does ClipZap support?
MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, and MKV. The compressed output is always MP4.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, on any modern browser including Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on Android and iPhone.
What's the difference between the compression presets?
We offer general presets (Smallest, Balanced, HD quality) and platform-specific presets (WhatsApp, Instagram, Email) that automatically resize the video to fit their limits. Or, you can use the Custom setting to choose your exact compression level.
Does compressing reduce resolution?
Often, yes. Compression reduces bitrate and sometimes resolution together to hit the target size while keeping the video watchable.
Can I compress very large files, like an hour of footage?
It depends on the 500MB upload limit and your device's memory. Longer videos take more time and browser memory to process.
