Video shrinker & GIF maker · Free · No upload
Make a video small enough to send. Nothing gets uploaded.
fkClip shrinks a video to an MP4 that fits a size limit such as 8 MB or 25 MB, trims the part you need, and turns a clip into an animated GIF. It all runs in your browser, so your video stays on your device. No account, no watermark.

What fkClip can do
Fit to a size limit
Type the size you need (8 MB, 10 MB, 25 MB or your own) and fkClip picks the bitrate to land there. A live estimate shows the result before you start.
Smaller, still sharp
Choose 1080p, 720p, 480p or 360p, a quality level, a lower frame rate, or remove the sound. The estimate updates as you change each option.
Trim before you compress
Drag the handles to keep only the part you need. A shorter clip is the biggest saving of all.
Video to GIF
Turn any part of a video into a looping GIF at 240 to 640 px wide and 8 to 15 frames per second, with one shared colour palette so it does not flicker.
Fast on your device
Decoding and encoding use your browser’s hardware video codecs where available, so long videos are not slow uploads and downloads.
Private by design
Your video is read and written on your device. It is never sent to a server.

Your files stay on your device
fkClip reads and re-encodes your video with your own browser. There is no upload to our servers. The result is created in memory on your device and saved only when you press Download.

Good to know
- Speed depends on your device. Long or high-resolution videos take longer and use more battery; keep the page open until it finishes.
- “Fit to size” aims for the size you type but the result can differ by a few percent. If the target is very small for the length, the picture will look blocky and fkClip warns you.
- GIFs are large by nature (256 colours, no real compression of motion). Keep them short, small and at a low frame rate; a short MP4 is usually far smaller.
- Some camera files (for example very high-resolution HEVC) may not open in your browser.
- fkClip is an early release, and features may be added or changed.
Frequently asked questions
Is fkClip free? Do I need to sign up?
It is free, with no sign-up and no login. Open the page and press “Choose a video”.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Reading, shrinking and saving all happen inside your browser. Your video stays on your device.
How do I make a video fit 8 MB or 25 MB?
Open “Smaller MP4”, choose “Fit to size”, tap 8 MB or 25 MB (or type your own) and press Shrink video. For long videos also trim the clip or pick 480p to keep it sharp.
Will shrinking lower the quality?
Smaller files always give up some detail. A lower resolution usually looks better than a very low bitrate at full resolution, so try 720p or 480p first. If a video is already compact, fkClip tells you it cannot be made much smaller.
How do I turn a video into a GIF?
Open the “GIF” tab, trim to the moment you want, choose a width and frames per second, and press Make GIF. Shorter and smaller GIFs are much lighter.
Does fkClip add a watermark?
No. Your file contains only your video.
Which browsers does fkClip support?
Google Chrome on desktop and Android is supported. Microsoft Edge uses the same technology but has not been tested. Safari and Firefox cannot encode video yet; the page tells you before you start.
What file does it produce?
An MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, or a looping GIF. Both play almost everywhere.
