Your phone recorded a 2-minute video that's 500 MB. You can't email it. You can't upload it to most platforms. And it's eating your storage. Here's how to shrink it without ruining the quality.
Compress Any Video
Open the Video Compressor, drop your video in, and set the quality level. For most videos, "Medium" quality reduces file size by 60-80% with no visible quality difference on normal screens.
How Video Compression Works
Video compression removes information your eyes don't notice. Subtle color variations, static backgrounds, details in fast-moving scenes. The video looks the same to you but the file is dramatically smaller.
Quality Settings Guide
- High (small reduction): For archiving. Keeps maximum quality. 20-40% size reduction.
- Medium (recommended): Best balance. 60-80% reduction. Perfect for sharing, uploading, emailing.
- Low (maximum reduction): For quick previews or very limited bandwidth. 80-95% reduction. Quality loss becomes visible.
