How do I compress a video without losing quality for WhatsApp Status?

Choose Smaller file, good quality or High quality and keep the resolution on automatic. This reduces file size while keeping Status clips sharp.

Does this work for iPhone MOV videos?

Yes. You can select iPhone MOV files and the tool outputs a standard MP4 that plays on any phone or computer.

Are my personal videos uploaded anywhere?

No. Compression runs in your browser on your own device, so private chats and family videos never leave your phone or computer.
