Compress video – WhatsApp-ready
Get MP4 and MOV clips under 16 MB for WhatsApp and email, to 1080p for social media or tiny 720p for your website. No upload, no watermark.
- Runs in your browser
- Folder structure kept
- No sign-up
- No file limit
Settings Defaults work for most files
Videos are re-recorded in real time. Keep this tab in the foreground, otherwise it slows down.
Before / after
Three presets that cover 95 % of cases
“Social media” re-encodes to 1080p at high bitrate. “WhatsApp/email” calculates the bitrate so the clip lands under 16 MB. “Website” creates a light 720p version for backgrounds and previews.
Best in Chrome and Edge
Video compression uses your browser’s built-in encoder and runs in real time. Keep the tab in the foreground while it works.
Why Shrinkfold
Built by people who send heavy files every day
Folders stay folders
Drop a whole project folder or ZIP. You get the same structure back – nothing to re-sort, no renamed chaos.
Smarter PDF compression
Instead of crushing the whole file, every image is resized to its real size on the page. Text, vectors and plans stay crisp.
Private by design
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your files never touch a server – perfect for NDAs and client work.
No limits, no account
No file caps, no daily quota, no watermark, no sign-up. Free, funded by friendly local ads.
How it works
Three steps, zero uploads
Drop
Files, folders or a ZIP – images, PDFs, videos and SVGs together.
Shrink
Pick a target like “email under 10 MB” or keep the smart defaults.
Save
Download single files, one ZIP, or write straight into a folder.
FAQ
FAQ
How do I make a video small enough for WhatsApp?
Choose “WhatsApp/email: under 16 MB” in the settings, drop the video and start. The bitrate is calculated from the video length.
Which browsers support video compression?
Chrome and Edge work best and produce MP4. Firefox may produce WebM.
Is there a watermark?
Never.
Is Shrinkfold really free?
Yes. No limits, no watermark, no account. We earn money with small, clearly marked local ads and a branded version for agencies.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser on your own device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded.
Is there a file size limit?
No artificial limit. The only limit is your device’s memory – modern laptops handle multi-gigabyte folders. For very large batches use “Save to folder” in Chrome or Edge.
Does it keep my folder structure?
Yes. Drop a folder or ZIP and the result has exactly the same sub-folders and file names – only smaller.
Will the quality get worse?
Text, fonts and vector graphics are never changed. Photos are re-compressed as little as needed: each image is measured on its own and resized only to the resolution its real size on the page requires. If compressing doesn’t save anything, you get your original back.
