Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video is compressed in your browser, so it never leaves your device.
Why does it take as long as the video?
To keep your file private and avoid heavy downloads, the browser plays the video and records it again at a lower quality. That happens in real time, so a 2-minute video takes about 2 minutes. Keep the tab open and in front.
How do I make a video small enough for WhatsApp or email?
Choose “Target file size” and pick 16 MB for WhatsApp or 25 MB for email. Lower the resolution to 480p for long videos.
Which format should I pick?
MP4 plays almost everywhere, including iPhone and WhatsApp. WebM can be smaller but some phones and apps do not play it. MP4 output needs a recent Chrome, Edge or Safari.
Which videos can I compress?
MP4, WebM and MOV files that your browser can play, up to 1 GB. If the browser cannot play the video, it cannot compress it.
Why is the new file not much smaller?
A video that is already small or heavily compressed has little left to save. Try “Smallest file” or a lower resolution.
