FAQs about Video Compression
Why compress a video file size?
Large videos may consume storage space, decrease efficiency in uploading or sharing, and fail to meet platform upload limits. Video compression helps reduce file sizes, saving storage, enabling faster video sharing, and improving compatibility.
Is the video compressor secure?
Yes. This online tool processes files locally in your browser and device securely, with no server uploads, and no one can view your data.
Is it free to compress video?
Yes, you can compress video for free, without downloading software, and with no sign-up, then output watermark-free videos.
What settings affect video size and quality?
Typically, several parameters can affect video file size and quality — resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and video length.
- Resolution refers to the number of pixels a video contains. More pixels mean clearer videos. For example, lowering from 4K to 1080p will reduce video quality and file size simultaneously.
- Frame rate refers to the speed of video frames appearing per second (fps). For example, reducing from 60fps to 30fps can save space, while lower fps means lower video quality.
- Bitrate means how many bits (the amount of data) are processed per second in a video. Higher bitrates improve quality and file sizes.
Our video compressor allows you to adjust resolution directly and customize compression quality & mode that combines the above elements.
