What you can do
The controls you actually need
Pick your files, set the output, and keep an eye on each job from the same page.
Choose the output
Use H.264, HEVC or AV1 and pick a resolution from 240p to 1080p. The same settings work for uploaded files and video links.
Watch before you download
Open the finished video in the built-in player. Check playback, adjust the speed, use Picture in Picture, then save an MP4 if you want a copy.
How it works
What happens after you press compress
Your browser manages uploads and progress. The compression server does the encoding and prepares the finished files.
-
1
Add your videos
Select local files or paste a direct MP4 or M3U8 link. You can review a batch before anything uploads.
-
2
Pick your settings
Choose a codec and resolution. Use balanced compression or set a lower bitrate ceiling to shrink the file further.
-
3
Get the result
Each video becomes its own job. When a job finishes, open the player or request an MP4 download.

Questions
A few things worth knowing
Can I add more files before I start?
Yes. Open the file picker again or drop more files onto the upload area. FreCom checks the name, size and modification time to avoid adding the same file twice.
What if one file fails?
The other uploads keep going. When the queue stops, select Retry failed to try again. Only failed or canceled files are sent again.
Do files and links use the same settings?
Yes. Both use the codec, resolution, optimization and shrink settings on the compressor page. A batch keeps the settings you chose when it started. Retry failed uses your current settings.
What happens if I close the page?
An active upload stops. Pending file selections can be restored, and accepted jobs can reappear during the same browser session. You will need to review and retry interrupted files yourself.
Why won’t my link work?
The compression server needs to open the link directly. Use a public MP4 or M3U8 URL, not a link to a webpage. Login-protected media and expired signed links will not work.
