How to compress a video on Windows 10
Every social medium has its own max video size. It means, you can’t just shoot the video and post it right away — quite often you have to compress it first. Also, a recording should be small enough for an email, fast uploading, and sharing via special sites, sending via short messages.
To compress a video on Windows you’ll need a special tool.
Like the one by Clideo, that works online and doesn’t require any downloading, installation, and setting up. It’s compatible with all the browsers, including Edge, it’s free, intuitively comprehensive, and very handy.

Read on and get to know how to compress video files on Windows 10 or any other OS in three simple steps.
Upload a file
Open our Video Size Reducer, click the blue button “Choose file” and select a visual you want to compress from your personal library.
Call the drop-down menu on the right of the button to import a file stored on Google Drive or Dropbox. Our tool accepts a wide range of video formats, including MP4, MOV, AVI and others.
Wait while tool is compressing for you
Our tool is so user-friendly, that it does all the job for you. Video compression may take up to several minutes — it depends on the initial file size, your internet connection speed and stability. In the meantime, you can fetch a cup of tea or think who you will send the new reduced clip to.
Download the video
When the process is over, a new size will be displayed as well as the percentage of the compression. Save the result to your personal device or cloud storage account.
If you try compressing the same video one more time, the result will be the same.
