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.
Use this page when a video feels too large for WhatsApp sharing. Review the compressed MP4 before sending.

Direct answer
Check the current limit for the way you plan to send the video, trim unused time, start with Best balance, and use Smallest file only when the first export is still too large. Watch the downloaded MP4 and test it in WhatsApp because chat, document, device, and account behavior can differ.
How it works
Drop an MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, or MKV file into the browser workspace.
Optionally trim unwanted seconds from the beginning or end, then choose Best balance, Higher quality, or Smallest file.
Run browser-based compression and keep the tab open until the export finishes.
Save the smaller H.264 MP4 with faststart for smoother web playback.
