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.
Trim unnecessary duration and use Smallest file for strict attachment workflows. CreatorZip cannot guarantee that every source will fit; always check Gmail's current attachment behavior before sending.

FAQ
Can I compress a video for Gmail?
Yes. CreatorZip can reduce a supported video and export a smaller MP4 before you attach it.
Can CreatorZip guarantee the video will attach?
No. Final size depends on the source, and Gmail attachment rules can change. Trim the clip or use a sharing link if necessary.
Should I compress repeatedly to make it fit?
Repeated compression can compound quality loss. Prefer trimming, a sensible preset, or a secure link for a large source.
Is my work video uploaded?
No. CreatorZip is designed to process supported files locally in the browser.
