Local First: VidCompress Brings Video Compression to Your Browser

VidCompress eliminates the tedious workflow of uploading videos to third-party servers by running compression entirely in your browser using WebCodecs, ensuring your footage never leaves your device. This client-first approach delivers faster processing on slow connections while protecting privacy, with graceful fallback to server-side processing for files that exceed local capabilities. For developers and everyday users, this represents a fundamental shift toward user-controlled processing without compromise.
