Compress video without losing quality
Large videos eat disk space and refuse to upload. CompressEasy Desktop re-encodes your videos with modern H.264 settings to cut their size dramatically while keeping them sharp. Everything runs locally on your Mac or Windows PC, so nothing is ever uploaded.
Available in the free CompressEasy Desktop app for macOS and Windows. Your videos never leave your computer.
Available in the free desktop app
Video, PDF and PowerPoint compression run fully offline in the CompressEasy desktop app for Windows and macOS — no uploads and no file-size limits.
Download desktop appHow it works
- Download and open CompressEasy Desktop (free).
- Drag your video files in — compression starts automatically.
- Pick a strength preset and save the smaller video to any folder.
Big savings, watchable quality
Phone and screen-recording videos are huge because they use light compression. Re-encoding at a smart CRF level often shrinks them by 50–80% with no obvious quality loss.
Batch, offline, private
Drop a whole folder of clips and compress them in one pass. Because processing is local, sensitive footage and client work never touch a server.
One app for every file
The same desktop app also compresses images, PDFs and PowerPoint files, so you have a single tool for shrinking anything that fills up your drive.
