Frequently asked questions

How small will my video get?

It depends on resolution and motion, but a 4K phone clip typically shrinks 5–10× when re-encoded at 720p with a sensible bitrate — a 400MB minute becomes roughly 15–30MB.

Why does this tool need a server?

Video re-encoding is heavy — it runs on our server with ffmpeg, and your file is deleted automatically right after processing. You'll see a queue position for big files.

Is Compress Video free to use?

Yes — Compress Video is free to use. It runs on our servers, so the Free plan includes a daily allowance; Premium removes the limits and raises the file-size cap.

Are my files uploaded or stored anywhere?

Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed, and automatically deleted from our servers shortly after — typically within an hour. We never read, share or keep your documents.

Do I need to install anything or create an account?

Nothing to install — everything happens online. You'll need a free account so we can queue your job and keep your result private to you.

How do I use Compress Video?

Open the tool, add your file, adjust any options, then press “Compress video”. Your result is ready to download in seconds.
