VidSmaller
Compress video to an exact file size — no watermark
Type the size you need — 18 MB for email, 19 MB for Discord — and VidSmaller two-pass encodes your video to land just under it. Or pick constant quality (CRF), a bitrate ceiling, or just scale 4K down to 1080p. 33 input formats in; H.264/H.265 in MP4, MKV, WebM or MOV out. Encoding runs on our servers, so a Chromebook handles a 4K file as fast as a workstation. Never a watermark, on any plan. Files auto-delete after the job. No install, no account to try.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built VidSmaller because I kept hitting the same wall: a 240 MB screen recording that Gmail won't take, Discord won't take, and Slack quietly mangles. Every "online video compressor" I tried either stamped a watermark on it, made me install something, or handed back a file 3x the size I asked for.
So VidSmaller does the boring thing properly:
🎯 Type a number, get that number. Two-pass bitrate targeting lands the output just under your target, not somewhere in the neighbourhood. Discord, WhatsApp, email and Reddit ceilings are one tap away. (Fun detail: Gmail's 25 MB limit measures the base64 attachment, ~1.37x the file on disk — so 18 MB is the real target, not 25.)
🚫 Never a watermark. Free output is byte-for-byte the same product as paid.
☁️ Your laptop stays cool. Encoding runs on our servers. Close the tab, come back later, the file is waiting. A Chromebook compresses a 4K file as fast as a workstation.
🔒 Your files don't stick around. Browser uploads over a one-time signed link to storage we control, the encoder pulls it server-to-server, and the staged copy is deleted the moment the job settles. We never watch, train on, or resell footage.
Pricing is deliberately unexciting: 5 credits with no account, 30/month free with one. 1 credit = 1 billed encoder minute — exactly what our encoder charges us, no markup on the compute. One credit covers any 1080p clip up to ~7 minutes. Failed jobs are refunded automatically.
33 input formats, H.264 + H.265, and target-size / CRF / bitrate-cap / resolution-scaling modes.
Would love to hear what breaks — especially weird source formats. If something won't compress, tell me and I'll chase it.
