Free Video Compressor

It can be quite disappointing when that last video doesn't fit on a portable drive, but in situations like this, you can use Free Video Compressor to make it smaller in size and squeeze it on that drive. The application supports a wide range of video formats and it is capable of compressing videos without sacrificing too much quality.

The software is offered completely free of charge, as the name points out. It is compatible with all modern Windows versions and it doesn't have any special requirements. Downloading and installing Free Video Compressor doesn't take more than a minute, even on older machines.

Compressing a video file is a straightforward operation. All you have to do is load the video with a standard browsing option and make a few simple tweaks. The application allows you to choose between different compression levels. You can set it to compress a video until it reaches about 10% of its original size. Of course, you shouldn't expect a high video quality with such a compression ratio. However, if the compression ratio is somewhere around 50%, you will have to look hard to see any reduction in the video's quality.

Another way to reduce the size of the loaded video is to cut it. If you want to get rid of a long intro or another unwanted segment, you only need to specify its start and end times. Additionally, the software can scale your videos to a certain height and width or to a certain aspect ratio.

Once your preparations are complete, you only need to click a button and choose an output folder. It may take some time to compress a video, especially large ones, but the results will be more than satisfying.
