Overview
About Video & Image Compressor
The free File Reducer compresses videos and images to a smaller file size — make an MP4 small enough to email, send on WhatsApp or upload, or shrink a JPG, PNG or WebP — while you control how aggressive the compression is. Pick a level and it re-encodes server-side with ffmpeg for video or ImageMagick for images, balancing size against quality. No watermark, no sign-up.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a video for email or WhatsApp?
Upload your video, pick the balanced or aggressive level, and download the smaller MP4 — small enough to attach to an email or send on WhatsApp without a watermark.
How do I reduce an MP4 file size?
Drop the MP4 in, choose a compression level, and the tool re-encodes it to a smaller file server-side while keeping the quality you choose.
Will compression reduce quality?
Some quality loss is normal at higher levels. The light / balanced / aggressive control lets you trade size against quality to suit your needs.
Which file types are supported?
Video (MP4, MOV and more, via ffmpeg) and images (JPG, PNG, WebP, via ImageMagick).
Is the compressor free and watermark-free?
Yes — compression is completely free, needs no account, and outputs have no watermark or branding.
