Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my video get?
It depends on how the original was encoded. Phone recordings typically shrink by 40 to 80 percent at Balanced strength, and more with a lower resolution. The exact savings show on every result.
Which setting should I use for messaging apps?
Strong compression at 720p makes most clips small enough for chat apps and email while staying clearly watchable.
Is the compression lossless?
No, video compression is lossy, which is what makes files dramatically smaller. At Balanced strength the difference is hard to see.
Why does compressing take a while?
The video is fully re-encoded on your own device, frame by frame. Speed depends on your hardware and the video length; nothing is uploaded, so nothing depends on your connection.
