Questions

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The compressor runs inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your file is read and processed on your own computer.

Will there be a watermark?

No watermark and no sign-up. The output is a clean MP4.

Why does it take a while?

Your computer does the work, so speed depends on its processor and the video length. A 1-minute 1080p clip usually takes about a minute.

What is the biggest file I can use?

Up to about 1.5 GB in most browsers. For longer recordings, trim the parts you need first.
