6 个压缩 MOV 文件大小的工具：免费且易于使用

MOV is a popular video format developed by Apple that stores both video and audio data and can also be referred to as the QuickTime video format. Users most often encounter it on Mac devices, although Windows operating systems are currently compatible with it. The MOV format gives us high video quality, but storing too many MOV videos can put a lot of pressure on our storage space. When we want to transfer video to video, we realize that many chat apps and social networking sites have attachment size limitations, which can lead to sending failure. So ,before we start, we need to compress MOV to the desired size. The choice of tool is critical in this process. A good compressor can effectively reduce the file size without losing any quality. In the next section, we'll pick out six suitable video compression tools, including three desktop programs and three online sites. Read on and see who's best for you. Each tool is paired with a step-by-step guide on how to use it.

第 1 部分：如何在 Win/Mac 上压缩 MOV

FVC Video Converter Ultimate

Let's start with the best and easiest way to compress a .mov, FVC Free Video Compressor, a platform that supports uploading more than 1,000 formats, including, of course, MOV, and where we can easily find Video Compressor in the toolbox. One of the things we like about this platform is that it allows you to customize the size of the compressed files, so we can easily make sure that the compressed files meet the size limitations of a particular platform. It also allows you to adjust the bitrate, resolution and duration of the videos. If you are not satisfied with the length or color of an existing video, you can also go to the main interface of this software and edit it as you like.

以下是使用 FVC Video Converter Ultimate 压缩 MOV 文件的方法。

Step 1: Download and install FVC Video Converter Ultimate on your personal computer. After launching the software and entering the main interface, choose the Toolbox tab. Find the Video Compressor among all the options. You can also navigate it with the search bar.

Step 2: Open Video Compressor and click the add icon in the center of the screen. Then, you can upload your prepared MOV file.

Step 3: Set your target file size under the Size option. Here are also more options for you to adjust the video quality. Finally, click Compress.

FVC Video Converter Ultimate 使用起来非常简单，所有 MOV 文件压缩步骤只需三步即可完成。它能够精确设置输出文件的大小，非常实用，系统还会计算文件的压缩百分比。不过，该平台只提供五次免费试用机会。免费试用结束后，我们必须订阅才能继续处理文件。

手刹

如果您正在寻找一款完全免费的桌面 MOV 压缩工具，不妨试试 Handbrake。它是一款开源工具，可用于编辑、压缩和转换视频，可在 Windows、Mac 和 Linux 系统上使用。

以下是使用 Handbrake 免费压缩 MOV 文件的方法。

Step 1: Download and install Handbrake from its official website. After launching it, click File > Open > Open Source and select the MOV video you want to compress.

Step 2: Handbrake will set the output format to MP4 by default. Then go to Dimension and change the Storage Size.

Step 3: Go to the Video tab and set the Video Encoder to H.264. Finally, click Start to launch the compression.

Handbrake 完全免费，可以压缩 .mov 文件，这真是个惊喜。它还提供了许多压缩自定义选项。然而，Handbrake 的界面比较繁琐，一些功能按钮不太醒目。如果我们没有使用经验，就需要借助教程。此外，该平台仅支持本地上传视频，不支持导入在线视频。

VLC媒体播放器

除了 Handbrake 之外，还有一款免费的开源 MOV 压缩工具——VLC Media Player。我们通常用它来播放各种格式的视频和音频，或者转换文件格式。不过，我们也可以在它的界面上找到一个 MOV 视频压缩器。在下一部分中，我们将展示如何通过更改视频编码元素来减小视频文件的大小。

以下是使用 VLC 媒体播放器压缩 MOV 文件的方法。

Step 1: Prepare your computer for VLC Media Player. Open it and click Media > Convert/Save.

Step 2: The File menu will appear. Click +Add to upload your MOV video. Then click Convert/Save again.

Step 3: In the Convert panel, click the wrench icon and navigate to the Profile option. Go to the Profile Edition section and choose Video codec.

Step 4: Decrease the video bitrate, frame rate and quality. After completing the above settings, your video will be significantly reduced in size.

Step 5: Choose a storage path and click Start.

VLC Media Player 和 Handbrake 有同样的问题。它的压缩视频按钮不太好找，操作步骤繁琐。它没有一键完成的选项；我们只能通过手动调整视频参数来间接压缩 .mov 文件。

二、如何在线压缩 MOV 文件

阅读完以上步骤后，您会发现在使用桌面压缩器之前，我们必须执行安装和下载操作。此步骤不仅会耗费大量时间，而且安装包也会占用大量内存。为了解决这两个问题，我们建议您尝试一些在线 MOV 压缩器。

FVC免费视频压缩

The first online compressor we recommend is the FVC Free Video Compressor. It can easily compress a 1GB video to 10MB for free and will work at 30X faster efficiency. The platform can also batch-compress multiple MOV videos and guarantees that no watermarks will be attached to the video frames. There are no ads, viruses or malware on FVC Free Video Compressor's website, so we can be 100% sure.

以下是使用 FVC 免费视频压缩器在 Mac 或 Windows 上压缩 MOV 文件的方法。

Step 1: Open FVC Free Video Compressor online, and click Add Files to Compress to upload your MOV file. You may be asked to install a launcher.

Step 2: Set a target file size under Size. You can also change the resolution and bitrate.

You can even convert MOV to MP4 on this platform. Just choose Format > MP4.

Step 3: Finally, click Compress.

这个压缩器很完美，但初次使用的用户可能需要下载插件的桌面版本才能正常使用它。

维德.IO

您可以尝试的第二款在线 MOV 压缩器是 VEED.IO。它的页面风格更现代，工作界面中的按钮分布也更符合标准视频编辑器的模板。

以下是使用 VEED.IO 压缩 MOV 的方法。

Step 1: Launch VEED.IO Online MOV Compressor. Click Upload a File to add your video.

Step 2: Set the output quality and resolution. Then click Compress Video.

使用 VEED.IO 压缩视频的步骤非常简单。但是，网络环境很容易影响该平台的页面加载，有时上传视频会很卡。

XConvert

我们推荐的最后一个工具是 XConvert 在线 MOV 压缩器。它还允许用户通过更改比特率和分辨率来减小视频大小。

该平台允许用户从本地选择文件并从云端添加要压缩的视频。

以下是如何使用 XConvert 在线 MOV 压缩器。

Step 1: Open XConvert online MOV compressor website with your browser.

Step 2: Click Add video files and choose your original video. Select the compression mode between By Percentage, Using Variable Bitrate, and Using Constant Bitrate.

Step 3: After finishing the compression settings, click Compress.
