// Why this is different

Compress for email without uploading your video.

Online video compressors upload your video to their servers. fwip compresses entirely in your browser using ffmpeg WebAssembly. Your footage — including private recordings — never leaves your device.

fwip works differently. The processing engine runs entirely in your browser. Your video is read from your device, processed on your CPU, and the result is saved back to your device. No server is involved. We literally cannot see your file.

No server processing

Everything runs on your device using WebAssembly. Your file never touches a network.

No account required

Drop a file. Get a result. No sign-up, no email, no password.

No subscription

Free in the browser. $99 once for the offline bundle. That's it. Forever.

Works offline

The desktop version works with no internet connection at all.

Use it free in your browser. Own it offline for $15. Compress any video, anywhere, no internet required.

// Questions

Frequently asked.

How do I compress a video for email?▾
Drop your video into fwip. It compresses to under 25MB automatically — the Gmail attachment limit. Download and attach to any email.
Is my video uploaded?▾
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device.
What is the Gmail video attachment limit?▾
Gmail allows attachments up to 25MB. Outlook allows 20MB. Most email providers have similar limits. fwip targets 25MB to fit the most common limit.
Does compressing reduce quality?▾
fwip uses smart bitrate optimisation. For most videos the visual difference is imperceptible while file size drops 50-80%.
What if the video is still too large after compression?▾
Try trimming the video first to shorten it, then compress. The offline bundle also lets you set a precise target file size.
