Video Compressor ShrinkFile is a small Mac app for shrinking video, image and audio files without sending them anywhere. Everything runs on your own machine, which suits phone clips and screen recordings that are too big to email or post.

Key Features

  • Compresses MOV, MP4, M4V and MKV video while keeping the original codec where it can, including H.264, HEVC, VP9 and AV1
  • Smart bitrate control with an automatic mode or custom settings, plus adjustable output resolution up to 4K
  • Batch processing for video, image and audio files in a single run
  • Hardware acceleration through VideoToolbox, which keeps encoding quick on supported Mac hardware
  • All processing happens on your device with no internet connection required, so files never leave your Mac

  2. You can also Download from the official site if you prefer the developer store listing.
  3. Open the app, add your first video, pick a size or bitrate setting and start the compression.

FAQs

Does ShrinkFile upload my videos to a server?

No. Compression happens locally on your Mac and the app works without an internet connection, so your media stays on your own machine.

Which file types can it handle?

It covers MOV, MP4, M4V and MKV video, and it can also compress and convert image and audio files in batches.

Will a smaller file look worse?

It depends on the settings. Gentle settings keep quality close to the original, while very low bitrates trade more picture detail for a much smaller file.
