Video Compressor - Reduce file

About this app

Compress and reduce video file sizes on your Mac. Fast, simple, and local. Download it for free on your Mac now! Is your Mac’s SSD or hard drive almost full? Is a video file too large for WhatsApp, iMessage, Facebook, or Instagram? Or would you like to save storage space before uploading it to iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox, or OneDrive? Video Compressor is a macOS video compression app that reduces video file sizes directly on your Mac. Choose the resolution and bitrate, check the quality in a preview, and see the estimated size of the compressed files before you begin. It is ideal for reducing the size of MOV, MP4, or M4V videos from your iPhone or another device, including Full HD 1080p, HD 720p, and 4K videos, or for archiving many recordings while using less storage. Your videos are processed securely and privately, entirely on your Mac. Compression uses Apple technologies in macOS, and the app NEVER uploads your video files to a server for processing. Key features: • Video compression up to 4K: compress Full HD 1080p, HD 720p, and 4K videos while keeping their original resolution and reducing the bitrate, or downscale 4K and other high-resolution videos to Full HD or HD for even smaller files • Batch processing: select multiple videos and compress them in one run • Natively optimized for Apple silicon: designed for Macs with M-series chips and efficient video compression using Apple media technologies • Flexible quality control: adjust resolution and bitrate to balance file size and image quality • Preview: compare the original and compressed versions before processing the entire video • Transparent size information: see the estimated total size beforehand and the actual file size and savings after compression • No unnecessary upscaling: smaller videos retain their original resolution and aspect ratio • Preserve the original audio without recompressing it • HDR support: HDR color information is retained for compatible files • Preserve recording and camera metadata: available information such as recording location, camera model, and lens details is carried over when present in the source file and compatible with the output format • Supported file formats: .mov (QuickTime), .mp4, and .m4v • Add files with the file picker, by drag and drop, or with Open With in Finder • Original files remain unchanged, and you can choose any destination folder, including one on an external SSD or another drive Target resolution presets: • Original resolution (up to 4K / 3840 × 2160) • Full HD 1080p (1920 × 1080) • HD 720p (1280 × 720) • HD 540p (960 × 540) • 480p (640 × 480) • 360p (480 × 360) Need to make a video smaller for an upload or file-size limit? Adjust the bitrate and use the size estimate to find the right balance. The lower the resolution and bitrate, the smaller the file. Use the preview to check the result and the new image quality beforehand. Download Video Compressor for free now and make videos smaller on your Mac!

4K stays 4K: The new preset compresses 4K videos as well, without losing resolution. Only the file size shrinks — typically by 35 to 70 % with 4K footage. Colors just like the original. HDR and Dolby Vision footage now keeps its full brilliance. No more washed-out colors. All capture data is preserved. Lens, focal length, aperture, capture date and location are carried over to the compressed video in full. Noticeably faster. Compression has been optimized and now uses the full power of your Mac hardware. Also new and improved: • Videos can be opened straight from the Finder • After compressing, you see the actual new file size and how much you saved • .mp4 stays .mp4: your videos keep their original file format and play back more reliably everywhere • A compressed file is never larger than the original • Far fewer alerts • Improved stability
