Reduce your video’s file size with minimal loss in quality. The MP4 video compressor is a free online tool that will make your MP4 files smaller.

Compress your videos to the smallest video file format in a few clicks with the MP4 compression tool.

Step 01
Upload your video
Upload your MP4 file to the editor. You can drag and drop your videos to the timeline.
Step 02
Adjust your compression settings
Select a video resolution from the compression settings. You can also go to the Advanced Settings to adjust the bit rate and frame rate.
Step 03
Export and share
Export your video in MP4 format, or keep editing. Trim your video, auto-cut filler words and long pauses, or share your video using VEED’s built-in web hosting.

Even though MP4 is smaller in size, it can still retain high-quality resolution. This depends on the compression settings that you choose when you reduce the size of an MP4 file.
While AVI is also a popular video format, it is much larger in file size than an MP4. If you want to compress your AVI files, you can convert them to MP4 using VEED’s video converter.
No, they are not the same. It’s easy to confuse the two because it sounds like MP4 is just short for MPEG-4 but it’s more complex than that. MPEG-4 is a video codec—a program that compresses videos to manageable sizes, and MP4 is a container format. This means that it can ‘contain’ other tracks such as subtitle tracks, soundtracks, images, etc.
MP4 does stand for MPEG-4 but it only applies to MPEG-4 Part 14 which has the .mp4 extension on its filename. It has become the most popular and most supported format, compatible with all media players.
When sending multiple or large MP4 files via email, you risk exceeding the file size limit which is 20 - 25MB in most cases. If you exceed this limit, your email will not be sent. You can send your videos in a zipped file, but it is not ideal. It’s best to compress your MP4 videos using video compression tools.

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.
