The best free video compression software for Windows 11? (opens in new tab)

Hey everyone.I'm on the hunt for a decent free video compression software that actually works on Windows 11 without hitting me with paywalls or watermarks after two uses. I've got some big video files I need to shrink down for sharing, and I'd love to hear what you all are using that's genuinely free, easy enough for a beginner, and doesn't destroy the quality too much.
