Compress TS for Facebook
Compressing TS for Facebook comes down to three constraints: Facebook's 1 GB cap, its 1920:1080 resolution ceiling, and the need to output MP4 H.264 for reliable inline playback. TS source files are typically 1080p at around 100 MB per minute — right at Facebook's 950 MB target. We calculate a per-clip bitrate budget from your duration, subtract 192 kbps for audio, and allocate the remainder to H.264 video at the highest quality that fits. MP4 source retains its H.264 stream without re-containerization work — we simply recompute the bitrate. Facebook accepts TS inline, so the work here is purely bitrate reduction.

How to compress TS for Facebook
- 1Drag your .ts file onto the upload zone above (or browse to it).
- 2Facebook is already selected — we'll target 950 MB to stay safely under the 1 GB cap.
- 3Optionally trim to a highlight clip or switch to H.265 for 30-50% smaller files at the same quality.
- 4Download the compressed MP4 and share it on Facebook. Source file auto-deletes from our servers after 1 hour.
What to know about TS → Facebook
- MP4 source retains its H.264 stream without re-containerization work — we simply recompute the bitrate.
- Resolution is kept at up to 1920p when the bitrate budget allows.
- Trim to the highlight before you compress — every 10 seconds you cut gives remaining frames more bitrate to work with.
- Facebook's 950 MB target leaves a 5% safety margin below its 1 GB hard cap, so platform-side rejection is never an issue.
The compression math
A 1-minute TS at 1080p = ~100 MB. Facebook's 950 MB target minus 192 kbps audio = ~132627 kbps video budget. H.264 at that budget kept at up to 1920p when the bitrate budget allows produces a file at the target size that plays inline on Facebook.
About TS files
TS files are MPEG-2 Transport Stream containers — the format used by digital TV broadcasts, DVB-S/DVB-T recordings, HLS streaming segments, and many hardware capture cards. A TS file is really a series of small packets designed for broadcast error recovery, which makes them reliable under bad network conditions but awkward to play in modern video players. VLC handles them fine; QuickTime, browser-native players, and most social platforms don't. CompressYourVideo.com transcodes TS → MP4 H.264 + AAC in a single pass, fixing both the size and the playability problem at once. Particularly useful for HDHomeRun / Silicondust recordings, Elgato game-capture exports, and downloaded HLS stream fragments that need to be merged + re-wrapped for sharing.
About Facebook
Compress videos for Facebook. Facebook Reels (the default since 2025) has a 1GB limit. Feed and Stories videos go up to 4GB. Our tool targets 1GB for the best balance.
