Compress a video

A long phone video can be too large for email, chat, or a classroom upload. Compression builds a smaller MP4 you can send, without uploading the original to Free-Utils.

When a smaller video helpsCopy Anchor Link

Compress when you need to:

• stay under an attachment limit
• share a recording that was filmed in high resolution
• keep the story of the clip without keeping every bit of detail

If you still need the full camera file, keep it and send the compressed copy.
