Frequently Asked Questions
How does the video compressor work?
The tool uses FFmpeg WebAssembly to process video directly in your browser. It re-encodes the video with optimized settings (codec, CRF, resolution, bitrate) to achieve smaller file sizes while maintaining visual quality
What is the maximum file size?
You can upload videos up to 1 GB. Files over 500 MB may process slower depending on your device. All processing happens in your browser, so performance depends on your computer's memory and processor speed.
Will compression reduce video quality?
Some quality loss is inherent in compression, but with smart settings (CRF 20-25), the difference is barely noticeable. Quick mode automatically balances size and quality. You can see before/after comparison in the results.
Can I compress video for WhatsApp/Discord?
Yes! Use the Platform mode with 16 presets optimized for WhatsApp (16 MB), Discord Free (8 MB), Discord Nitro (50 MB), Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Email, and more. Each preset adjusts resolution, FPS, and bitrate to fit the platform's limits.
What codecs are supported?
H.264 (MP4) for maximum compatibility and VP9 (WebM) for better compression at the same quality. H.265/HEVC is not available in browser-based processing. VP9 offers ~20% better compression than H.264 but encodes significantly slower.
Can I trim the video before compressing?
Yes. In Custom mode, you can set start and end times to trim your video before compression. This is useful for removing unwanted parts and further reducing file size without a separate tool.
