Great tool for medium sized files !!!
It does compressing job very well, plus a free service with a limit a 4gb max file size is nothing but highly appreciable, but during usage i found 2 issues with my system, so sharing this: 1. It's slow, like above 500 mb file or more than 5 min duration video files, compression is very slow. 2. If your system in full with multiple tabs, after uploading like a 1.5 gb or larger file, your entire system may hang; as i suffered, i donno why..but it was [my system config: 16GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, iRIS Xe GPU......] so keep in mind these stuffs, may be helpful.

Thank you for the detailed feedback, Santanu — this is exactly the kind of report that helps us improve. Good news: our July 2026 update addressed both issues you hit. Large files no longer load into memory (they're now streamed from disk), which fixes the system hang you experienced with 1.5GB+ files, and the maximum file size has been raised to 8GB on desktop. Compression speed for long videos also improved with parallel processing. We'd love for you to give it another try!
