Compressing a video lets you reduce the size of a file that’s too heavy: to email or WhatsApp it, upload it to a form with a cap, or free up space on your phone. Most compress-video sites upload it to a server; fetchio.io works the other way around: compression runs inside your browser with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly and re-encodes the video with the libx264 (H.264) codec, so the file never leaves your device. The first time, the engine (a few MB) is downloaded and cached. To be honest about the trade-off: processing a large video in the browser depends on your device’s memory and CPU and is slower than a dedicated desktop app; in exchange, nothing is uploaded and nothing leaves your device, with no watermarks and no daily limits.
Drag it or click to choose it. Nothing is uploaded.
Light, medium or strong, depending on how much you want to shrink it.
Your lighter video as MP4 (H.264), with no watermarks.
No. Compression happens in your browser with ffmpeg; the video never leaves your device. Only the engine is downloaded the first time.
With libx264 (H.264), the most compatible standard: the resulting MP4 plays on any phone, browser or player.
Re-encoding video is intensive and here it runs on your device, not on a server. Large videos take longer and are slower than in a desktop app: that’s the trade-off for nothing being uploaded.
It depends on the video and the chosen level. Phone recordings usually shrink quite a bit; at the strong level the file gets much lighter in exchange for some quality.
fetchio.io never uploads your video, adds no watermarks, and doesn’t cap how many you compress per day. Everything is free and processed in your browser.
