Sometimes in-browser compression is the wrong tool: a 4K timeline, a machine without spare CPU, or you just need this file to be 8MB and you don't want to guess CRF.
VidSmaller encodes in the cloud to a target size. You pick the MB (or a Discord / WhatsApp / email / Reddit preset). No watermark.
What you get
- Exact target file size
- 33 input formats
- Advanced mode: H.264 / H.265, CRF, resolution
- Files deleted after processing
- Free to try (small files / limited credits). Pro unlocks larger files and H.265
How it's different from videocompress.dev
I also maintain videocompress.dev, which never uploads — everything stays in the tab. VidSmaller is the opposite tradeoff: you upload, the server encodes, your laptop stays cool, and the size target is exact.
If your clip is sensitive, use the in-browser one. If you need a hard size cap or a format the browser stack doesn't like, use VidSmaller.
