Common questions

Why is my video too big to send?
Every platform has a file size cap. WhatsApp stops you at 16MB, Discord at 10MB, Gmail at 25MB. A 1-minute phone video is typically 80-200MB depending on how it was recorded, which is well over most limits. Compression reduces the file size by lowering the bitrate (data per second), which reduces quality slightly but makes it sendable.
What actually happens when you compress a video?
We run your video through FFmpeg, the same engine used by YouTube and Netflix. It recalculates the minimum bitrate needed to hit your target size, then re-encodes the video at that bitrate. Short videos can be compressed with almost no visible quality loss. Longer videos need more aggressive compression, so quality drops more noticeably.
How much quality will I actually lose?
For clips under 3 minutes, the difference is barely noticeable on a phone screen. For longer videos compressed to small limits (like 10MB), you will see some degradation. We always compress to the highest quality that fits your target, and we scale down resolution (1080p to 720p) before destroying quality at the original resolution.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Upload from your phone's camera roll, pick a platform, and download the compressed file. No app to install. Works on Safari (iOS), Chrome (Android), and every desktop browser.
Is my video stored anywhere?
Your video is automatically deleted from our servers 1 hour after compression. We don't share it, analyze it, or use it for anything other than returning the compressed file to you.
Can I compress a video without losing any quality?
Not meaningfully. Lossless compression of video rarely reduces file size enough to matter. Every useful compression involves some quality trade-off. What we do is minimize that trade-off by encoding as efficiently as possible for the target size.
