Frequently Asked Questions

Will compression ruin my video quality?
At Medium/High settings, the quality difference is barely noticeable. Modern codecs like H.264 are incredibly efficient at maintaining visual quality while reducing file size.
How long does compression take?
It depends on file size and your device's processing power. A 1-minute 1080p video typically compresses in 30-60 seconds on modern devices.
Can I compress video on my phone?
Yes — our compressor works in mobile browsers. Open it in Safari or Chrome, select your video, and download the compressed version.
