4K HDR Compression Without Compromise

4K HDR files are enormous: 50 to 100 GB per hour of footage. H.265 or AV1 brings that down; how far depends on the source, so run Test Encode (10s) on one file first.

VideoRecompress preserves HDR10 metadata, 10-bit color depth, and Dolby Vision signals during re-encoding.

Watch: H.265 or AV1 for playback, the web and archiving

All videos are processed locally on your computer. No files are uploaded to any server. The software does not collect personal data.

Free trial with no time limit: your first 10 files convert with no watermark; after that files get a watermark and a 10-minute cap. Buying removes both. Lifetime license: $79 (one-time payment, no subscription).
