Compress a video with a good balance of file size and quality.

What this action does

  • Balanced H.264 CRF
  • Great size-to-quality ratio
  • AAC audio at 128k
  • Runs locally with ffmpeg
  • Free to use

Compress Video (Balanced) is the middle ground: it re-encodes video to H.264 at a balanced CRF that meaningfully reduces file size while preserving a clean, watchable picture. Most people get the best size-to-quality trade-off from this setting.

Runs locally with ffmpeg, with no upload and no cost. Copy a video, press Ctrl+Alt, and the compressed MP4 appears next to the original.

Choose Balanced for everyday sharing where you want a smaller file without obvious quality loss.
