MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV - the clip you need lighter for email, Slack, or social
What it does
Upload an MP4, MOV, WebM, or MKV, reduce the file size for email attachments, Slack threads, and social uploads, and keep the same project open for captions, brand, conversion, and export.

How it works
Reduce file size, keep the project editable.
Pick the upload destination, shrink the file, check that UI and captions still read, then export or keep editing in ngram.
Upload the source video
Start with the MP4, MOV, screen recording, demo cut, or webinar clip that is too heavy for the next handoff.
Source ready
Pick the destination
Tell ngram if the file is for Gmail, Slack, a LinkedIn post, a YouTube upload, or an internal review so the export fits the size limit.
Target set
Check the compressed output
Scrub the result and confirm that product UI text, captions, on-screen labels, and motion still read cleanly.
Quality checked
Export or keep editing
Download the smaller MP4, or keep going with cuts, captions, format conversion, brand kit, and multi-format export.

What it can do
What the video compressor handles.
Use compression as a delivery step that still leaves room for a tighter edit, cleaner captions, and a different format.
Shrink MP4 and MOV file size
Reduce the size of MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV uploads so they fit inside email limits, Slack threads, and CMS uploads.
Keep product UI and captions readable
Check that dashboard text, callouts, on-screen labels, and captions stay legible after the compressed version is exported.
Trim before you compress
Cut dead air, remove unused takes, and shorten the clip so the smaller file is also a sharper edit.
Open video cutterConvert formats after compression
Move the same project into MP4, GIF, WebM, or PNG export paths when the upload destination needs a different file type.
