FAQ

Questions about Compress Video

How do I get a video under 16 MB for WhatsApp or 8 MB for Discord?+

Choose the limit from “Target file size”. The bitrate is set so the whole video fits, and resolution drops automatically when needed.

Will it look bad?+

At 720p balanced quality most phone videos shrink by 60 to 80 percent with little visible change. The estimate updates as you change settings.

Is the video uploaded?+

No. Compression runs with your device's hardware encoder inside the browser.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?+

No. Everything runs in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
