A sensible place to start
For phone recordings, try 1080p Balanced first; use 720p if the file remains too large.
The compressor above is preconfigured for this use case. Actual results still depend on the source codec, motion and detail.
Why it works
Spend fewer bits, deliberately
MOV files from phones and cameras can use high bitrates. A practical delivery copy often needs far less data than the original capture.

Frequently asked questions
Is MOV compression private?
Yes. Standard compression runs inside your browser. The video file is not sent to a VideoShrink server.
Will the output size be exact?
Target-size mode aims slightly below your limit, but container overhead and unusual source files can make the final size vary.
Why can compression take a while?
Encoding is demanding work. Duration, resolution, device speed and browser memory all affect processing time.
