Frequently Asked Questions
How long does compression take?
Compression time depends on your video length and device. Most videos compress in under a minute. Firefox users get faster compression thanks to multi-threading support.
Will I lose video quality?
Some quality loss is inevitable when compressing, but our tool optimizes the compression to maintain the best possible quality at your target size. Higher target sizes = better quality.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No! All compression happens locally in your browser. Your video never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy.
What's the maximum input file size?
You can upload videos up to 512 MB. For larger files, we recommend trimming or splitting the video first.
