VidShrink — Faster. Smaller. Smarter.

How VidShrink Works

Private on-device tools when possible. Secure temporary cloud power when you need it.

How VidShrink Works

VidShrink makes oversized videos and photos easier to store, send, upload, and share without forcing you through an account or adding a watermark.

On-device video compression

The private video compressor processes supported MP4, MOV, WebM, and M4V files directly in your browser. Your video stays on your device, and VidShrink recommends a practical balance between quality, file size, and processing time.

Cloud video compression

The cloud video compressor is built for larger or more demanding files. Your browser securely uploads the video to private temporary storage, a native FFmpeg worker creates a shareable MP4, and the source and result are scheduled for automatic deletion.

Photo compression and conversion

VidShrink’s photo tools run locally in your browser. Use Photo to reduce an image, Convert to create a JPG, PNG, or WebP copy, or Zip to shrink and bundle multiple photos—or ZIP the originals unchanged.

Simple choices instead of technical settings

Choose the result you need, let VidShrink handle the technical details, then save or share the finished file. The original file remains unchanged unless you deliberately replace it yourself.

Privacy depends on the tool you choose

On-device tools never upload your media to VidShrink. Cloud compression uses private temporary processing for files that need server-grade power. VidShrink does not require an account and does not add a watermark.

No account. No uploads. No watermark.

Built for the people, by the people.
