Video files of popular formats like MP4 and MOV can be quite large, especially if recorded in high resolutions. Moreover, they may consume a significant amount of storage space on your computer. The best solution to reduce video file size on Windows 10, for example, is to compress them.

Compressing .mp4 or .mov files on Windows not only makes video files’ size smaller, but also improves compatibility, enhances playback on different devices, saves bandwidth and data usage, all while maintaining an acceptable level of video quality. You might also need to compress videos for email or social media, as every so often there are upload limitations.

Video compression is great for managing and optimizing video files. Windows 10 built-in video editor can be used as a video compressor. However, it makes the video’s resolution lower, which is typically not what is needed.

In our tool, you can compress the video without significant quality loss or changing resolution – all in one quick step.

The best video editor. I've already tried out a lot of video editors, but this is the best one. It has everything in there, unlike others that need a lot of other websites to do different things. Thank you so much.
