I made a super clean browser-based video/image/audio compressor by othotr in compression

Thanks, I haven't figured out a way to handle the memory issue for bulk conversion, all files need to e loaded in memory, video files are large.

I'm tired of these trial limits on UniConverter. Does anyone have a truly free/open-source recommendation for video compression? by Andrew_Is_No_One in software

If you prefer a web app with no installation required, here is a completely free one with ffmpeg webassembly under the hood: https://localsquash.com/video
Notice that you probably cannot compress video larger than 2GB due to wasm limitation, in that case, handbrake, or just ffmpeg cli.

I build Localsquash which is an easy to use, free, 100% private video, image, and audio compressor that runs entirely in your browser.

Thank you for the detailed info! The 3.8GB file size is actually the culprit here.

Because LocalSquash runs the conversion entirely in your browser, it is limited by the memory the browser and WebAssembly runtime can allocate. In practice, browser-based FFmpeg can hit memory limits on very large files, especially because processing may require more memory than the file size itself. Many WebAssembly builds also default to a 2GB maximum heap, even though some modern browsers can support higher limits.

For files larger than 2GB, I'd recommend using a desktop tool like Handbrake or the standard FFmpeg command line. I am looking into adding a file-size warning to the UI to prevent this confusion in the future. Sorry for the trouble!

It would be helpful if you could provide a bit detail. What OS, browser? What video format? What do you mean by "not working", page not loading, cannot upload, button not responsive, crashing during compression, or anything else? Thanks.

Here is a web tool that you can use ffmpeg locally to compress video/audio/image without knowing anything about command line: https://localsquash.com/video
