VidCompress / Facebook post
Facebook re-compresses every upload, which softens already-large files. Send a clean ~50 MB MP4 so your post, Reel, or Story stays sharp.
Or jump straight to a destination:
Facebook re-compresses every video you post. If you upload an oversized file, Facebook's pass softens it — so a giant upload often looks worse than a clean, well-sized one. The trick is to hand Facebook an efficient MP4 it barely has to touch.
This page targets around 50 MB for short clips, which uploads quickly and holds up through Facebook's processing for feed posts, Reels, and Stories. Files under 300 MB compress locally in your browser.
Add your clip
Drop in the video for your post, Reel, or Story. MP4, MOV, WebM, and more are accepted.
Keep the Social preset
It targets a balanced ~50 MB — small enough to upload fast, large enough to stay sharp.
Compress in-browser
VidCompress re-encodes to clean H.264 MP4 without uploading your footage.
Post to Facebook
Download the result and upload it. It posts faster and survives Facebook's re-encode looking crisp.
Why does my Facebook video look blurry?
Facebook re-compresses uploads, and oversized or high-bitrate files take the biggest hit. Uploading a clean, right-sized MP4 gives Facebook less to degrade.
What is the best video size for Facebook?
A standard H.264 MP4 at 1080p with a moderate bitrate uploads fast and looks good. Compressing trims wasted bitrate without a visible difference.
Does it work for Reels and Stories?
Yes. The compressed MP4 works for feed video, Reels, and Stories alike.
Do I need an account?
No. Files under 300 MB compress locally in your browser with no signup.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan compresses up to 300 MB locally with no watermark.
