How do I convert mpeg to a specific resolution?

  1. Choose your file. To select the mpeg file, you have two options:
    Click "Select mpeg file to compress" to open the file chooser
  2. Downscale the resolution.
    Click "Convert to a specific resolution". It will start the downscaling process which will take some time to complete.
    Compress a specific resolution
  3. Save the result.
    Click on "Save MPEG File" to save the downscaled MPEG file to your selected destination folder.

Frequently asked questions

You can convert MPEG video to 1080p, 1050p, 900p, 768p, 720p, 648p, 576p, 480p, 360p, 240p or 144p. The original aspect ratio is kept, so the width adjusts to suit the height you choose. The lower the resolution, the smaller the finished file.
ezyZip is an online tool that supports any OS that can run a modern browser. We have tested it to work with Windows, MacOS, Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint, Debian), Android, ChromeOS (Chromebook), iOS (iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch).

We are continuously updating the system, so ensure you are using the latest version of one of the popular browsers or their variants. (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera).

Please let us know via the feedback form if you have any issues.
Yes. ezyZip utilises the processing power of your own computer and browser to complete the task. No file data leaves your browser. Unsure? Turn off your WiFi when completing the uncompression. It will continue to work as no data is uploaded to the internet.

ezyZip is a free online mpeg to a specific resolution resolution downscaler that runs in your browser. No need to install any additional compression software. It supports a myriad of other media types and resolutions.

Unlike other online video compression utilities, ezyZip does not add watermarks or require uploading files to a server. Use it as many times as you want, completely free. It runs locally as a browser app, making it much quicker than other online conversion tools. This also ensures your privacy will be protected as no file data will leave your browser.

ezyZip processes files directly in your browser. Unlike most online tools, your files are not uploaded to our servers, which means faster processing and better privacy. Take a look at the feature comparison below and we think you'll agree that ezyZip is the better choice for your file conversion needs.

Why client-side MPEG resolution scaling is faster and more private

ezyZip scales MPEG video resolution using WebAssembly-compiled filter pipelines executing locally in your browser. Here is why local resolution scaling is superior:

  • Combined ProcessingResolution downscaling is combined with bitrate optimization in a single WASM processing pass, avoiding multiple encoding steps. Scaling from 4K to 1080p while re-encoding happens in one pipeline rather than requiring a separate resize step followed by compression.
  • High-Quality Scaling FiltersThe engine uses Lanczos and bicubic resampling algorithms for resolution scaling, producing sharper and more detailed results than the simple bilinear filters used by many online tools.
  • Multi-Threaded PerformanceMulti-threaded WebAssembly processing via SharedArrayBuffer keeps encoding fast for high-resolution source files. The frame processing pipeline distributes work across available CPU cores for maximum throughput.
  • Responsive InterfaceThe entire operation runs in a dedicated Web Worker, keeping your browser responsive during processing. Real-time progress shows frame count, elapsed time, and estimated completion so you can plan accordingly.
