Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I compress a video?
Typically 40-80% size reduction depending on the original encoding and quality settings.
Will compression reduce video quality?
Some quality loss is expected. Use High (CRF 23) for minimal loss, Tiny (CRF 38) for maximum compression.
What formats are supported?
MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, MKV and most common video formats. Output is always MP4.
Is there a file size limit?
Since processing happens in your browser, it depends on your device memory. Works well under 500MB.
Can I remove the original audio track from my video during online compression?
Yes, our video compressor allows you to remove the audio track while reducing file size. Look for the 'Remove Audio' or 'Mute Video' option in the settings before starting compression. This is useful for creating silent video clips or preparing footage to add a new voiceover or background music, and further reduces the overall file size.
Why is my computer slow when compressing video online without upload?
When compressing video directly in your browser without uploading, your device's CPU and memory are doing all the heavy lifting. This resource-intensive process can make your computer seem slow, especially if it has older hardware or if you're running many other applications. For optimal performance, ensure your browser is up-to-date and try closing unnecessary tabs or programs during compression to free up system resources.
