What this tool does
Reuses the local foreground video recorder with selectable 0.6/1.2/2.5 Mbps target video bitrate, maximum side presets and optional audio removal. Small sources are not upscaled. Actual output size is shown next to input size; a lower requested bitrate does not guarantee a smaller file.
Supported files, limits & important details
No uploads, autosave or dependency download. One browser-playable video, 20 MB, 120 seconds source, at most 8 million pixels per input frame. Compression records in real time in the foreground; WebM/MP4 depends on browser and size reduction is not guaranteed. Thumbnails: maximum 1280-pixel side, PNG/JPEG. GIF: range 0.2–5 seconds, 2–10 frames, maximum 480-pixel side and 2.304 million frame pixels, RGB332 palette, no audio. Seeking and timing are approximate; device/codec support varies. Keep the page visible during export. Output must be downloaded before leaving.
