More free video tools
Same quality bar. Still free. Still no upload.
Your files never leave your device
This is not a promise about how carefully we handle your upload. There is no upload. The file you choose is read into memory by your own browser, processed there, and handed back as a download — the tool has no server component and makes no network request with your data.
- Nothing is stored. We never receive the file, so there is no copy to retain, no retention period to disclose, and nothing to delete on request.
- Nothing is transmitted. No upload endpoint, no analytics payload carrying file contents, no third-party processor.
- You can verify it. Load this page, disconnect from the internet, and use the tool. It still works, because everything it needs is already on your machine.
- Nothing persists after you close the tab. Files are held in page memory only — not in local storage, not in a cache, not in a database.
A note on wording, because it matters: we do not describe these tools as “encrypted.” Encryption protects data that travels to somebody else's computer. Your file does not travel, so there is nothing to encrypt and nothing to intercept — which is a stronger guarantee than encryption, not a weaker one. The page itself is served over HTTPS like the rest of the site.
This makes the tools safe for material you are contractually barred from uploading to third-party services — client footage under NDA, unreleased campaign assets, anything covered by a confidentiality clause.
How it works
1. Drop a clip
Drop a video in this tab. It stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
2. Pick a platform preset
Choose Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, IG Feed 4:5, or Custom quality. Crop, letterbox, or stretch to fit.
3. Export and compare size
Re-encode in the browser when captureStream and MediaRecorder are available. Check before and after file size.
Questions
What bitrate presets are available?
Instagram Reels targets about 6 Mbps at 1080x1920, TikTok about 5 Mbps at 1080x1920, YouTube Shorts about 8 Mbps at 1080x1920, and IG Feed 4:5 about 5 Mbps at 1080x1350. Custom mode lets you pick High (8 Mbps), Medium (4 Mbps) or Low (2 Mbps), or slide the bitrate while keeping 9:16 or 4:5.
Is the output lossless?
No. The browser plays the video, paints frames onto a canvas at the preset size, and MediaRecorder writes a new file (usually WebM) at your target bitrate. That is a lossy re-encode, same stack as the free reel pack and video trimmer.
Why is compress disabled in Safari?
Safari often does not expose captureStream on video or canvas. Without that API there is no in-page way to re-encode here. Chrome, Edge and Firefox usually support the clip path.
Will my file always get smaller?
Not always. If the source is already lower bitrate than the preset, the re-encode can land larger. Check the before and after sizes on the result panel and try a lower quality tier when you need a smaller file.
Do my files get uploaded anywhere?
No. This free tool runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas and File APIs. The file you choose is read into memory on your own machine, processed there, and offered back as a download. Nothing is sent to a server, which is also why it keeps working with your network off.
Is it actually free, or is there a catch?
Actually free, with no account and no limit, because it costs nothing to run. The work happens on your device rather than on our hardware. That is different from generating with an AI model on Versely, which does cost credits. There is no free tier for generation.

These rearrange files. Versely makes new ones.
Everything on this page works on a file you already have, which is why it costs nothing. Generating something that did not exist (video from a prompt, a voice, a score) runs a model, and that costs credits.
