FastEdit vs TinyVideo
TinyVideo (tinyvid.io) is a browser-based video compressor that, like FastEdit, processes files entirely on your device. Both tools share the same privacy-first philosophy: no uploads, no accounts, no hidden costs. If all you need is video compression, TinyVideo does the job well.
The difference is scope. FastEdit handles images, animations, and video in a single tool, with batch processing, platform presets, and output format flexibility that extends well beyond compression. Here is how they compare side by side.

Verdict
Choose FastEdit if you...
- need to process images and animations alongside video
- want 79 platform presets and more output format options
- need blur/redact tools or side-by-side preview
Choose TinyVideo if you...
- want the simplest possible video compressor with no extras
- need a quick compress-and-go workflow for a single video file
- prefer a minimal interface focused solely on video size reduction
Bottom line
TinyVideo is a solid pick if your only task is compressing a video file in the browser: it is free, private, and straightforward. FastEdit is the better choice when your workflow extends beyond compression: batch processing, 79 platform presets, image and animation support, and tools like blur/redact and side-by-side preview make it a more complete media editor without sacrificing the same client-side privacy guarantees.
