WhatsApp-ready
Drop a phone recording, pick the messaging preset (about 16MB at 720p), and send without WhatsApp rejecting the file. Or set your own max size in MB when the limit is tighter.
ShrinkCut
Smaller videos. Clean cuts. On your Windows PC.
Compress, split, and join on your PC with presets for WhatsApp, YouTube, and email. One-time license — not a cloud subscription.
Shrink
Presets for WhatsApp, YouTube, email, and more — smaller files without a settings maze.
Cut
Split long recordings and join clips without a full video editor.
Local
Your videos stay on your PC. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud encoder.
Simple
Start with a preset, then fine-tune only if you need to.
Three jobs ShrinkCut is built for
Not another generic compressor. Clear presets for the places people actually send video — chat apps, uploads, and long recordings that need cutting up.
YouTube-ready
Use the YouTube upload preset for 1080p H.265 when you want a smaller file that still looks sharp — without wrestling with every FFmpeg option.
Split a long recording
Preview on a timeline, mark cuts, then export equal parts or fixed-length segments. Choose a fast stream copy, or an accurate re-encode when cut timing must be exact.
Compress, Split, Join — one desktop app
Batch queues, watch folders, before/after size preview, and GPU encode when your hardware supports it. See the full feature list.
- Formats: MP4 H.265 / H.264, WebM VP9, AAC, MP3, GIF
- Optionally split into parts right after compress
- History of recent jobs on this PC
Local processing. Major-version license.
The trial includes 3 jobs, then you activate at shrinkcut.uk. Encoding stays on your PC. Your purchase covers updates within the same major version (for example all 1.x). Only a jump to 2.x needs a new license — and existing customers get a discount. See pricing.
