Compression

Compress Video Online — Free

iPhone videos easily hit 100 MB for a minute of 4K. ReFile recompresses video for the platform you actually need it for — WhatsApp's 16MB limit, email's 25MB, or just 'smaller than this'.

No signup to try
Sandboxed processing
Files deleted in 24 h

What this does

Target a platform — 'for WhatsApp', 'for email', 'for Slack'
Target a size — 'under 25MB' or 'half the size'
Target a resolution — '720p' or '1080p at lower bitrate'

How it works

1
Upload your VIDEO
Drop it above, or click to pick from your device. We validate the format immediately — no spinning on a file we can't process.
2
Run the conversion
The recipe runs in an isolated cloud sandbox — same as every other ReFile job. No AI guessing involved; it's a hand-written command that does one thing.
3
Download the VIDEO
Result lands in seconds. Files auto-delete from our servers after 24 hours; signed download URLs expire in the same window.

Frequently asked

Will the quality drop?: Some — compression is a tradeoff. ReFile tries the smallest quality drop that hits your target. If you need higher quality, ask for a bigger target ('under 50MB' instead of 'under 16MB').
What about audio?: Audio is recompressed too, at 128kbps AAC by default. For voice-only content, ask for 'mono audio at 64kbps' — saves another few MB.
