Same video, a fraction of the size.

Upload an MP4, MOV, MKV or AVI and we re-encode it with the x265 (HEVC) codec — the same picture at a fraction of the size, so it fits the upload limit, the email, or the drive. No watermark, no ads.

If x265 can't beat your file, you get the original back

Two steps. That’s it.

1

Upload your video

MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI & more
Drop the file in or browse for it. Nothing to configure — the app runs x265 at settings that hold up at your resolution.
2

Download the small one

MP4 holiday-4k.mp4 420 MB · was 1.8 GB
Same resolution, same length, same audio track — a file small enough to actually send.

Re-encoding takes minutes, not seconds. x265 is slow by design — that’s where the savings come from. A long or high-resolution video can take several minutes; keep the tab open until the download appears. Your link stays live for 60 minutes.

Why not use a free video compressor?

Because most of them hit you with a watermark, a size cap, or a quiet drop to 480p — and the ones that don't are re-encoding on your own laptop for an hour. This is a real x265 re-encode, paid for with €1 instead of your file.

x265, not a resize

HEVC does more with fewer bits, so the file shrinks without dropping your resolution to 480p.

Never bigger than you started

If the re-encode doesn't come out smaller — which happens with already-efficient video — you get your original back instead.

No watermark, no ads

Your frames and nothing else. Files are deleted when the 60-minute link expires.

Try it for €1

A 24-hour day pass costs €1. No subscription, no auto-renewal — decide later.

Free compressors get you most of the way and then charge for the part you needed: the watermark comes off for €9, the 500 MB cap lifts for a subscription, or the file quietly comes back at 480p and you don't notice until it's on a television. Ultra Compress Video Cyborg is one drop box and one Download button, running x265 on our hardware — paid for by the €1 that got you in, so nothing has to be paid for with your files.

When a smaller file is the whole problem

Nobody wants a compressed video. They want the one they have to fit somewhere it currently doesn't.

Upload limits

Portals, forms and chat apps that stop at 25, 100 or 500 MB — get under the line without cutting the video.

Archiving a library

Years of recordings re-encoded to HEVC keep the picture and free up most of the disk.

Sending by email

A clip that bounces off a 25 MB attachment limit, small enough to just attach and send.

Cloud storage that’s full

Re-encode the videos eating the plan instead of buying the next tier up.

Phone footage

Modern phones shoot enormous 4K files. HEVC brings them down to something you can actually move around.

Sharing a rough cut

Send a reviewable copy to a client or a teammate without setting up a whole delivery pipeline.

Whatever the limit, upload once and get a much smaller video back.

Common questions

Getting started

What is Ultra Compress Video Cyborg?
A web app that re-encodes your video with the x265 (HEVC / H.265) codec to make the file smaller. You upload one video, it runs the encode on our hardware, and you download an MP4 at the same resolution and length.
Which formats can I upload?
Twelve: MP4, MOV, MKV, M4V, AVI, WMV, MPG, MPEG, FLV, 3GP, WebM and GIF. Whatever you send, you get an MP4 back — HEVC can't legally live in some of those containers, so the output is always MP4.
How is this different from the standard compressor?
This one runs a real x265 (HEVC) encode, which is slower but squeezes much harder. The standard Compress Video Cyborg does a straightforward re-encode: quicker, less dramatic. If you're up against a hard size limit, use this one.

The result

How much smaller will my file get?
It depends entirely on how your video was encoded to begin with. An older or high-bitrate file can lose more than half its size; a video that was already encoded efficiently may barely shrink at all. There's no way to know before running it, which is why you never pay in file size — see the next answer.
Can the file come back bigger?
No. Re-encoding an already-efficient video can genuinely produce a larger file, so when that happens we hand back your original instead. You'll never download something bigger than what you uploaded.
Will it look worse?
The resolution, frame rate and length are unchanged, and the audio track is copied across untouched wherever the format allows. It is a lossy re-encode, so a very close look at fine detail can show the difference — for most footage, at normal viewing distance, it doesn't.
Will the file play everywhere?
The output is tagged for broad compatibility, so modern phones, TVs, Macs and current browsers handle HEVC fine, and VLC plays it anywhere. Older Android devices, older Windows machines without the HEVC extension, and some upload portals and editing timelines still expect H.264 — in that case run the file through Video to MP4 Cyborg, or use the standard compressor.
How long does it take?
Minutes rather than seconds — x265 trades time for size, and long or high-resolution videos take longer. Keep the tab open until the download button appears.
When does the download link expire?
After 60 minutes. Save the file as soon as it's ready — after that the link expires and the file is deleted.

Pricing, privacy & rights

How much does it cost?
Creating an account is free; you pay when you download. A €1 day pass gives you 24 hours of unlimited compression. Yearly (€6) and lifetime (€30) plans are also available (+ VAT), and every plan unlocks all 79 AppsCyborg tools — with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
What happens to the video I upload?
It's used to produce your compressed file and then deleted along with it when the 60-minute download link expires. Nothing is kept, published or used to train anything, and requests are anonymous — no ads, no trackers.
Can I compress video I didn't make?
Re-encoding a video doesn't change who owns it. Personal use, research and internal records are usually fine — get permission before publishing or selling the result, and don't use it on material you're not allowed to copy.
Still have a question?
We usually reply within a day.
