Compress Video Without Uploading
Skip the upload entirely. SqueezeVid compresses your video right where it is — in your browser — so you never wait for a file to upload to a server and your video stays completely private. Free, no account, and no watermark on the result.
Size limit: There is no upload step. Your browser does the compression locally with WebAssembly, so even large files don't need to travel to a server first.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a video without uploading it?
Open this page and drop your video — SqueezeVid compresses it in your browser with no upload. Your file is never sent to a server.
Why avoid uploading my video to compress it?
Uploading is slow for large files, uses your data, and hands your video to a third-party server. In-browser compression is faster to start and keeps your footage private.
Does SqueezeVid upload my video to compress it?
Video bytes stay on your device in this browser tool. SqueezeVid receives usage metadata to manage allowances and failures. Optional cloud processing is a separate route that requires an upload.
Is there a file size limit without uploading?
This browser compressor supports files up to 2 GB. For larger files, choose Large Browser Compression (Beta), which supports up to 10 GB on compatible devices with enough local storage, or Server Compression, which uploads your video for processing.
