AI Video Compressor
Drop in a video that is too big, say where it needs to fit, and download an MP4 that made it under the limit.
Export formats
- Video: Download it, or play it in the app.
It also lands in your Library, ready to play again or bring into another chat.
Examples to start from
- Email attachment: Compress the video I dropped to under 25MB so it fits through email. Speech needs to stay clear.
- Sharp screen recording: This is a screen recording of a product demo. Get it as small as you can while the on-screen text stays readable.
- Keep 1080p: Get this video under 40MB but keep it 1080p if you can. If that target is not realistic, tell me the tradeoff before encoding.
- Just smaller: Shrink this phone video enough to send in a group chat. I do not need perfect quality, it just has to be easy to share.
How it works
- Drop in your video, up to 1GB and 10 minutes, and say where it needs to fit: a size, an app, or just smaller.
- askROI probes the file first: what kind of footage it is, its resolution, frame rate, and bitrate.
- It shows you the encode it picked and why, then runs it and checks the result against your target.
- Download the compressed MP4, or keep chatting to trade size against quality.
What people use it for
- Email limits: Get a recording under the 25MB ceiling that most mail servers enforce, without turning speech to mush.
- Chat and messaging: Fit a video through Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp size limits so you can share it where the conversation already is.
- Screen recordings: Shrink a product demo or bug report while keeping the on-screen text readable, which fixed-preset compressors get wrong.
- Course and LMS uploads: Meet an upload ceiling on a learning platform while keeping a talking-head lesson watchable.
- Phone footage: Cut a large handheld clip down to something a web page or form upload will actually accept.
Questions
- How is this different from other video compressors?
- Most compressors run one fixed preset on everything. askROI probes your file first and picks the encode for that footage: a screen recording tolerates far more compression than shaky phone video, and the same preset gets one of them wrong. It also shows you what it picked before running, so the choice is visible.
- How big can my video be?
- You can upload a video up to 1GB and 10 minutes long. The raw upload is kept for 7 days so you can rerun or adjust the compression, then deleted automatically. The compressed result lands in your Library and stays until you delete it.
- Can it hit an exact size, like under 25MB?
- Yes. When you name a size, askROI computes a bitrate budget for it and verifies the result, re-encoding once if the first pass overshoots. If a target is unrealistic for the length and content of your video, it says what is achievable instead of silently delivering something broken.
- What does it not do?
- It compresses; it does not edit. No trimming, cropping, watermark removal, or format tricks that break playback. And it will not promise an impossible target: a 30 minute 4K video cannot become 10MB and still be watchable, and askROI says so up front.
- Will it work on the free plan?
- Yes. You can compress videos on the free plan. Paid plans raise the usage limits and include more credits for Premium mode.
