Features / Video Compressor
Compress big videos with no upload limit

100% offline · No upload · Free for 8 files/day
The problem with cloud tools
Online and cloud-based alternatives come with real trade-offs.
Tiny upload size limits
Online video compressors cap free uploads at a few hundred megabytes. A single phone clip or screen recording can blow past the limit before you even start.
Painfully slow uploads
You spend more time pushing a multi-gigabyte file up to a server than the compression itself takes. On slow or metered connections it is simply not practical.
Your footage sits on a server
Whatever you upload — unreleased content, recordings of meetings, personal videos — is processed and temporarily stored by a third party you have to trust.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a file-size limit when compressing video?
No. Because compression runs on your own computer, there is no upload cap. You can compress multi-gigabyte recordings that online compressors would reject outright.
Which video formats are supported?
1FileTool works with MP4, MOV, AVI and MKV and can convert between them. You can also convert clips to GIF, extract or remove audio, and adjust resolution, bitrate and frame rate.
How is this better than an online video compressor?
Online tools force you to upload your footage and limit free file sizes. 1FileTool processes everything locally, so it is faster on large files, has no size limit, and your video never leaves your device.
Can I compress many videos at once?
Yes. The Batch Compress tool queues an entire folder of videos and processes them with the same settings, which is ideal for shrinking a backlog of recordings.
Is it free and offline?
All 25 video tools run 100% offline and are free for up to 8 files per day. Pro is a one-time purchase from $29 for unlimited compression.
