    Compress video FAQs

    How do you compress video?

    Re-encoding with ffmpeg.wasm (for example H.264) runs entirely in your browser.

    Is compress video private?

    Yes. Video never uploads to a server.

    Is it free?

    Yes — free with no account; speed depends on your device.

    Do you upload my files?

    No. GroundPDF processes files entirely in your browser with WebAssembly. Files never leave your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.

    Which devices and browsers work?

    Any modern browser with WebAssembly support: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop or mobile.

    How is this different from iLovePDF or Smallpdf?

    Those tools upload your files to the cloud. GroundPDF runs on your device (on the ground, not in the cloud), so your documents stay private by design.
