QuickVid Compress

QuickVid Compress is the simplest way to make a video smaller on Mac. Drop a file, pick a mode, save the result. No codec menus, no bitrate math, no learning curve. Built for the moment you hit Discord's 25 MB upload cap, iMessage refusing your video, or an email bouncing because the attachment is too big. — WHAT MAKES QUICKVID DIFFERENT — • THREE-CLICK WORKFLOW Drop the video, choose a mode (Recommended, Maximum Quality, Web Optimized, Tiny), save. About 30 seconds end to end. No configuration anxiety. • PURPOSE-BUILT MODES Recommended: 30-50% smaller, virtually no quality loss — the general-purpose pick. Tiny: target the 25 MB cap for Discord/iMessage. Maximum Quality: archival. Web Optimized: balanced for streaming. • APPLE SILICON NATIVE Uses VideoToolbox hardware encoding. A 1-minute 4K video compresses in seconds on an M1 or later. Significantly faster than Handbrake's software encoders for the same job. • HEVC AND H.264 HEVC for 30% smaller files when your audience is on Apple devices. H.264 for universal compatibility — email, Discord, anywhere. • PARALLEL BATCH (Pro) Drop multiple files. QuickVid encodes them in parallel when your Mac has the cores. Handbrake's default queue is sequential. • 100% LOCAL No upload, no telemetry, no account. Family videos, work recordings, screen captures — none of it leaves your Mac. — WHO IS QUICKVID FOR? — • People who hit upload limits (Discord 25MB, Gmail 25MB, iMessage 100MB) and want a 30-second fix • Anyone who has opened Handbrake, seen the codec menu, and closed it again • Mac users on Apple Silicon who want hardware-accelerated encoding • Anyone who compresses video weekly but isn't a video professional — WHAT QUICKVID ISN'T — This is not a replacement for Final Cut Compressor or Handbrake if you need ProRes mastering, two-pass bitrate encoding, or AV1 output. Those are different tools for different jobs. — PRICING — Free for one-off use with the Recommended mode. One-time Pro unlock adds all four modes, parallel batch, and custom output directories. Never a subscription.
