Compress a screen recording
Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded. Drop the file, press the button.
Screen recorders capture at high bitrates that treat every pixel as precious, which is why a 10-minute recording lands at half a gigabyte. Screen content — mostly static UI with a moving cursor — recompresses beautifully. ShrinkClip re-encodes it locally and typically cuts 90–98% of the size.

No upload queue
Compression runs on your own CPU. A 500 MB recording never crawls up your connection to someone's server — there's nothing to upload, wait on, or trust.
No command line to learn
The same H.264 encoding professionals tune by hand — with the bitrate math and resolution worked out for you. Pick a size, press the button.
Private by default
Your video is processed in browser memory and discarded when you close the tab. We never see a frame of it — only anonymous size and preset stats.
Questions people actually ask
Why are screen recordings so large?
Recorders like QuickTime, OBS and Game Bar prioritize capture speed over efficiency, spending bits as if every frame were unique. Re-encoding afterward with H.264 reclaims almost all of it.
Will text in the recording stay readable?
Usually, yes — static interface text compresses efficiently. If the calculated bitrate would look bad at full resolution, ShrinkClip steps down to 720p or 480p, which is the honest trade at very small targets.
