Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. Stands in for any video format Flippy can read: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and the rest.

Fun fact
Most 'video won't play' problems are wrapper problems: the pictures inside are usually fine.

What compressing video actually does

Whatever video you feed it, Flippy re-encodes with a modern codec at the quality you choose: low, medium or high. Camera footage typically gives up 30–70% of its size before quality visibly suffers, and screen recordings squeeze even harder. Either way the result comes back in a container the destination will accept.

Questions people ask

How much smaller will my video file get?

It depends on the format it arrives in: uncompressed sources give up the most, already-lossy ones the least. Most files land 30–70% smaller at the medium preset before quality visibly suffers.

Will I lose quality working with video here?

Where possible Flippy copies streams without re-encoding; when a re-encode is unavoidable it happens once, at quality matched to your video.

Is this video compressor really free?

Yes: free for everyday use with no daily cap, no signup, and your files delete themselves from our servers within an hour. Pro exists for heavy days: bigger files, whole folders at once.
