Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 15, 2026
Your Privacy Matters
SqueezeVideos is built with privacy at its core. This privacy policy explains how we handle your data when you use our service. The short version: we don't collect, store, or have access to your video files.
How Your Videos Are Processed
All video compression happens entirely in your web browser using WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm). When you upload a video:
- The video file stays on your device
- Processing occurs locally in your browser's memory
- No data is transmitted to our servers or any third party
- The compressed video is generated on your device
- You download the result directly from your browser's memory
We physically cannot access your videos because they never leave your device.
Analytics & Usage Data
We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics to improve the service. This includes:
- Page views and navigation patterns
- Browser type and version
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
- General geographic region (country-level only)
- Performance metrics (page load times)
We do NOT collect:
- Your video files or any information about their content
- Personal identifying information (name, email, address, etc.)
- IP addresses or precise location data
- Browsing history or behavior outside of SqueezeVideos
All analytics data is anonymous and cannot be used to identify individual users.
Cookies & Local Storage
We use minimal cookies and local storage for essential functionality:
- Analytics cookies: To track anonymous usage statistics (via Vercel Analytics)
- Browser cache: To store FFmpeg.wasm library (~30MB) for faster subsequent compressions
- No tracking cookies: We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.
Third-Party Services
SqueezeVideos uses the following third-party services:
Vercel (Hosting & Analytics)
Our website is hosted on Vercel's infrastructure. Vercel collects anonymous analytics as described above.

FFmpeg.wasm (Video Processing)
We use FFmpeg.wasm, an open-source WebAssembly port of FFmpeg, for video compression. The library is loaded from a CDN but processes videos entirely in your browser.
Data Security
Since your videos never leave your device, there is no risk of data breaches or unauthorized access from our end. Your video security depends on:
- Your device's security
- Your browser's security
- Your local storage practices
We recommend using an up-to-date browser and keeping your device secure.
Children's Privacy
SqueezeVideos does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect personal data at all, our service is safe for users of all ages. However, parental supervision is recommended for young users.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect or store personal data, there is no data to request, modify, or delete. You have complete control over your videos at all times.
If you wish to opt out of analytics:
- Use browser extensions like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin
- Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings
- Disable JavaScript (though this will prevent the site from working)
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
