    Compress MOV online

    MOV videos shot on an iPhone or other Apple device are often very large (little to no in-camera compression) — shrink them without changing the format or forcing a conversion.

    MOV

    How it works

    2

    Pick a compression level suited to your use case (sharing, archiving, emailing).

    3

    Download the compressed MOV, keeping the same file format.
