The short version
Your video is compressed inside your browser and never uploaded anywhere. We collect usage statistics that aren't tied to your identity, so we know whether this tool is worth maintaining. No accounts, no names, no tracking across other sites.
Your video
The compression runs entirely in your browser tab using WebCodecs, your device's built-in video encoder. Your file is read into browser memory, re-encoded on your own machine, and handed back to you as a download. It is never transmitted over the network — there is no server that could receive it. Close the tab and it's gone.
What we do collect
Two things, and we're transparent about both because "runs locally" doesn't mean "zero telemetry":
- Usage events — when a file is selected, when compression starts, succeeds or fails, and when a result is downloaded. Each event carries the file's size in bytes (before/after), the preset you picked, how long the compression took, your browser's user-agent string, and a random identifier stored in your browser so we can count returning visitors. The identifier is a random number — it isn't derived from or linked to your name, email, or identity (we don't have those), and clearing your browser's site data removes it. Never the file itself, its name, or its contents. These go to a Supabase database.
- Google Analytics 4 — standard page analytics plus the same funnel events. GA4 sets cookies to distinguish returning visitors. If your browser or ad blocker blocks GA, the tool works exactly the same.
Feedback
If you use the feedback form, we store the message and (only if you choose to give one) your email address, solely to reply to you.
