Resize video
4K phone footage is overkill for most destinations. Downscale to a standard height and the file shrinks dramatically.
Resolution vs. destination
Most screens a shared video lands on are phone screens, and most chat apps will re-compress whatever you send anyway. 720p is the pragmatic default for sharing: it looks clean on a phone, uploads fast, and combined with compression usually lands under attachment limits. Keep the original for the archive; send the resize.
Frequently asked questions
- Does resizing keep the aspect ratio?
- Yes — you pick the height, the width follows automatically (rounded to an even pixel count, which encoders require).
- How much smaller does a resized video get?
- Halving both dimensions quarters the pixel count, and file size falls with it. 4K → 1080p commonly cuts size by 60–75% before compression settings even enter into it.
- Can I upscale a video?
- This tool downscales. Upscaling can't add detail that was never captured — it just makes a bigger file of the same information.
- Is my video uploaded anywhere?
- No. VidClip runs FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly inside your browser. The file is read from your disk into the page's memory, processed there, and saved back to your disk. There is no upload, no server queue, and no copy of your footage anywhere but your machine.
- Is there a watermark?
- Free video exports carry a small semi-transparent VidClip mark in the corner. Audio-only output (MP3) has no watermark. Pro ($4/mo or $79 once) removes the watermark, lifts the 200 MB file cap, and unlocks instant lossless trim and mute.
