Phone video compressor
Compress a phone-recorded video for easier sharing.
Modern phones can create high-resolution, high-frame-rate, HDR, and long camera files. Trim unused footage and create a smaller MP4 for the destination you actually need.

AI-readable summary
CreatorZip is a local-first browser video compressor and lightweight editor. It can keep one continuous range by trimming the start or end, preview that selection, adjust output quality, resolution, and audio, then export a smaller MP4. It is not a full timeline editor and does not currently merge clips, remove middle sections, add text or subtitles, crop video, or apply transitions.
Keep the original camera file, process a copy, and check color, orientation, stabilization, audio, and detail in the exported MP4.

FAQ
Why are phone videos so large?
High resolution, high frame rate, HDR, long duration, and high source bitrate can all increase size.
Can I compress without deleting the original?
Yes. Keep the source and save the compressed MP4 as a separate file.
Why do phone colors sometimes change?
HDR and color metadata may be handled differently during conversion and playback. Always compare the result.
Is the camera video uploaded?
No. Compatible processing runs locally.
