MakeVideoSmaller
Overview
MakeVideoSmaller is a free video compressor that processes files locally in the browser. Users set a target size in MB (or pick a preset for Discord, WhatsApp, or Email), choose a quality level, and download a smaller copy with no signup and no watermark. It's aimed at people who need to shrink videos to fit chat-app or email upload limits. MP4 and MOV are the best-supported formats; very large or long source videos can run into browser memory limits, and actual output size can exceed the requested target depending on content.

- Set a target output size in MB, or pick a preset for Discord, WhatsApp, or Email
- Compression runs entirely in the browser; files are never uploaded to a server
- Adjustable quality level (Small, Balanced, High)

Pros & Cons
Cons
