Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress a video without losing quality?
Upload your video (max 2GB). Select a compression level: light (20-30% reduction, minimal quality loss), medium (40-60% reduction, slight quality loss), or heavy (70-80% reduction, noticeable quality loss). The tool uses H.264/H.265 encoding for optimal quality-to-size ratio.
What is the best video format for compression?
MP4 with H.264: Best compatibility, good compression. MP4 with H.265/HEVC: 50% smaller than H.264 at same quality, but slower encoding. WebM with VP9: Similar to H.265, open format. Choose H.264 for compatibility, H.265 for smallest size.
How much can I compress a video?
Typical results: 1080p video at 20Mbps → 5Mbps (75% reduction) with minimal visible quality loss. 4K video can be reduced 80-90% by downscaling to 1080p. A 1GB raw video typically compresses to 100-300MB. Results depend on content complexity and chosen quality settings.
What resolution should I use for web videos?
1080p (1920×1080) for high-quality content. 720p (1280×720) for standard web videos and social media. 480p for mobile-first content. 4K only if your audience has high-bandwidth connections. The tool can downscale resolution during compression for additional file size savings.
Does video compression affect audio quality?
By default, audio is re-encoded at 128kbps AAC (good quality, small size). Options: 64kbps (voice only), 128kbps (standard), 192kbps (high quality), 320kbps (near-lossless). You can also keep the original audio unchanged while only compressing the video stream.
