How to use Video Compressor

Load your video, drag the quality slider to balance size against sharpness, and export. The compressed file typically downloads much faster than the original.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller can my video get?

It depends heavily on the source: a phone video with a high bitrate can often shrink by 50-80% at a moderate quality setting with little visible difference.

What does the quality slider actually change?

It adjusts the CRF (constant rate factor), FFmpeg's quality-vs-size control — lower values mean higher quality and larger files, higher values mean smaller files with more visible compression.

Why compress instead of just resizing?

Resizing shrinks the frame dimensions, while compression reduces the bitrate at the same resolution — this tool focuses on bitrate, so use the Resizer alongside it for maximum size reduction.
