QuickVid: Video Compressor
Shrink Video for Email & Chat
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Drop a video, pick a mode, save. Shrink MP4/MOV 30–70% with HEVC or H.264. Beats email and chat upload caps. Apple Silicon native, 100% local.
QuickVid Compress is the simplest way to make a video smaller on Mac. Drop a file, pick a mode, save the result. No codec menus, no bitrate math, no learning curve.
Built for the moment you hit Discord's upload cap, iMessage refusing your video, or an email bouncing because the attachment is too big.
— WHAT MAKES QUICKVID DIFFERENT —
• THREE-CLICK WORKFLOW
Drop the video, choose a mode (Recommended, High Compression, Compatible), save. About 30 seconds end to end. No configuration anxiety.
• PURPOSE-BUILT MODES
Recommended: 30–60% smaller, virtually no quality loss — the general-purpose pick. High Compression: 50–70% smaller — aim straight at messaging upload caps. Compatible: H.264 output that plays anywhere — the sharing-safe pick.
• APPLE SILICON NATIVE
Uses VideoToolbox hardware encoding. A 1-minute 4K video compresses in seconds on an M1 or later. Significantly faster than Handbrake's software encoders for the same job.
• HEVC AND H.264
HEVC for ~30% smaller files when your audience is on Apple devices. H.264 for universal compatibility — email, Discord, anywhere.
• PARALLEL BATCH (Pro)
Drop multiple files. QuickVid encodes them in parallel when your Mac has the cores. Handbrake's default queue is sequential.
• 100% LOCAL
No upload, no telemetry, no account. Family videos, work recordings, screen captures — none of it leaves your Mac.
— WHO IS QUICKVID FOR? —
• People who hit upload limits and want a 30-second fix
• Anyone who has opened Handbrake, seen the codec menu, and closed it again
• Mac users on Apple Silicon who want hardware-accelerated encoding
• Anyone who compresses video weekly but isn't a video professional
— WHAT QUICKVID ISN'T —
Not a replacement for Final Cut Compressor or Handbrake if you need ProRes mastering, two-pass bitrate encoding, or AV1 output. Different tools for different jobs.
— PRICING —
One-off use with the Recommended mode is included at no additional purchase. One-time Pro unlock adds all three modes, parallel batch, resolution scaling, and custom output directories. Never a subscription.
