Compress a video for Discord, email or WhatsApp
Video Converter shrinks videos to a size you pick. Presets named Discord · 10 MB, WhatsApp · 16 MB and Email · 20 MB work out the bitrate from the video's length and only lower the resolution when they have to. It runs on your PC, can use the graphics card, and never uploads the video.

How it works
4 steps, start to finish.
Drop the videos
One video or a batch.
Pick a preset or a size
Discord · 10 MB, WhatsApp · 16 MB, Email · 20 MB or Smallest, or a target of 10, 16, 20 or 50 MB.
Adjust if you like
Quality (Smallest, Balanced or Better), HEVC, a resolution of 1080p, 720p or 480p, or no sound at all.
Compress
If a video can't get any smaller, Toolyn says so instead of keeping a bigger file.
What it can do
Video Compressor, in detail.
Aims at the size
The bitrate comes from the video's length, with a little headroom, so the file lands just under your target.
Uses the graphics card
“Use the graphics card” tries NVIDIA, Intel and AMD encoders, then falls back to the usual one.
MP4 or WebM
MP4 with H.264 or HEVC (H.265), or WebM with VP9.
Your own presets
Save the settings you use most under a name, and rename or delete them later.
Replace the originals
Or keep them: replaced files go to the Recycle Bin.
More jobs
Resize Video, Video to GIF and Extract Frames are in the same tool.
Uses FFmpeg, a free helper Toolyn installs for you with one click through WinGet (about a 100 MB download, for your Windows account only). If FFmpeg is already on your PC, Toolyn finds it.
Questions
Video Compressor: plain answers.
Will it fit under Discord's 10 MB?
The Discord · 10 MB preset aims just under 10 MB. For a long video it lowers the resolution to 720p or 480p to stay inside the size.
Is the video uploaded?
No. It's compressed on your PC by FFmpeg.
Can I compress several videos at once?
Yes. Drop them all; each one is compressed to the same preset.
Do I need a fast PC?
No, but a graphics card helps: with “Use the graphics card” on, Toolyn uses its video encoder when there is one.
