Drop in a whole folder of videos and shrink them with H.265, AV1 or VP9. On our 11-clip test set, H.265 on an NVIDIA GPU cut 254.9 MB to 128.4 MB and no file came out bigger. No visible quality loss, no upload, no subscription, all on your PC.
Re-encode your videos with next-generation compression for massive space savings.
Encode on your graphics card with NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV or AMD AMF. On an RTX 3080, H.265 encoded 8–17× faster than on a Ryzen 9 3900X (6 clips).
Choose from 24 built-in presets, among them Phone Video Archive, YouTube Raw Footage, Security Camera Archive and Wedding / Event Archive.
Drop entire folders and let the multi-worker queue process hundreds of videos while you focus on other work.
Same quality, fraction of the file size.
Drop files or entire folders into the app. Supports 20+ video formats including MP4, MKV, AVI, and MOV.
Pick one of 24 built-in presets or set codec, quality and hardware encoding yourself.
Hit Start. On our 11 test clips this halved the total size, from 254.9 MB to 128.4 MB with H.265 on an NVIDIA GPU. Your original files are never modified.
Built-in tools for your entire video workflow.
Cut intros, remove endings, or extract specific segments while recompressing.
Extract audio tracks to MP3, FLAC, AAC, Opus, or WAV with one click.
Turn any video clip into high-quality animated GIFs with palette optimization.
Add text or logo watermarks to all your videos in one batch pass.
I freed up over 800 GB on my NAS by re-encoding old surveillance footage. The GPU acceleration made it surprisingly fast.
Perfect for archiving wedding videos. My clients get smaller files to share, and the quality is indistinguishable from the originals.
I was skeptical about AV1, but the savings are incredible. My YouTube raw files went from 50 GB to under 15 GB each.
Professional results without the learning curve.
