❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I compress a video? ▼
Using our Maximum compression preset, you can reduce file size by up to 90%. A 100MB video can become as small as 10MB.
Will compression reduce video quality? ▼
Our Balanced preset reduces file size by ~50% with almost no visible quality difference. Maximum compression will slightly reduce quality but is still great for sharing.
Is my video safe and private? ▼
100% safe. Your video is processed entirely in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm. Nothing is ever uploaded to any server.
What is the best setting for WhatsApp? ▼
Use the "WhatsApp" preset which compresses to under 16MB (WhatsApp limit) while keeping good quality. Select 480p resolution for best results.
What does CRF mean? ▼
CRF (Constant Rate Factor) controls quality vs file size. Lower CRF = better quality but bigger file. Higher CRF = smaller file but lower quality. CRF 28 is the recommended balanced setting.
