  • No watermarks — the compressed video is clean and stays in your archive

How to Compress a Video

  1. Upload your video or paste a direct link to it.
  2. Or pick a clip you generated on Homiwork — your video archive is one click away.
  3. Choose the compression level — medium is the best balance for messengers.
  4. Press “Compress video”, compare the size and download the result.

How Video Compression Works

Compression re-encodes the video with a higher quality factor (CRF): the encoder spends fewer bits on details the eye barely notices. Light compression typically cuts the file by a third with no visible change; medium halves it and suits messengers and email; strong compression also lowers the resolution to 720p and shrinks the file several times — handy for long recordings and slow connections. Audio is preserved and re-encoded at a compact bitrate. If the video has a quiet soundtrack you don't need, removing audio saves even more space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the video compressor free?

Yes. New users get starter energy points; one compression costs 2–5 points depending on the video length.

How much smaller will my video get?

Typically 30–70% smaller depending on the level and the source: screen recordings and static scenes compress best.

Will the quality drop be visible?

On light and medium levels the difference is hard to notice. Strong compression trades some sharpness for the smallest file.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 200 MB and 5 minutes by default, up to 1 GB and 20 minutes with Prime.
