FAQ
How do I compress a video for TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube?
Just upload your video and choose "Balanced" quality — it works great for all major platforms. TikTok allows up to 287 MB (10 min), Instagram Reels up to 650 MB, and YouTube is very generous. Our Balanced preset typically shrinks videos by 65%-80%, easily meeting these limits while keeping your video looking sharp.
Can I compress a video to send via WhatsApp or email?
Yes! WhatsApp limits videos to 16 MB, and most email services cap attachments at 25 MB. Choose the "Small File" preset to get the most compression — a typical 100 MB video will shrink to 10-20 MB. For slightly better quality, try "Balanced" and see if the file is small enough.
Will my video look blurry after compression?
With the "Balanced" preset, most people can't tell the difference from the original at normal viewing. It's perfect for social media, messaging, and everyday sharing. If you need near-original quality (for example, for further editing), choose "High Quality" instead.
How much smaller will my video get?
For a typical 100 MB 1080p video: High Quality reduces it to about 40-60 MB, Balanced to about 20-35 MB, and Small File to about 10-20 MB. The actual result depends on your video content — videos with lots of motion compress less than static scenes.
Should I choose MP4 or WebM?
Choose MP4 for maximum compatibility — it works on virtually every device, platform, and social media app. WebM produces slightly smaller files but isn't supported everywhere. When in doubt, go with MP4.
My phone video is too large — what should I do?
Modern phones shoot in 4K or high-bitrate 1080p, so even short clips can be hundreds of megabytes. Upload your video here, choose "Balanced" quality, and you'll typically see a 65%-80% size reduction — a 200 MB clip becomes around 40-70 MB, perfect for sharing or uploading.
