Start from the source file, apply only the settings you need, then review the result in the player, platform or application where it will actually be used.
A straightforward way to use it
Start with the source video, choose the option that matches what you want to achieve, then run the processing and open the result. There is usually no benefit in changing several technical settings at once. If the first attempt is not right, go back to the source, adjust one relevant option and try again.
Check the file before you keep it
Once the processing is complete, open the output and look at the actual file rather than assuming the setting name tells you everything. Check picture, sound, duration, orientation and format where they matter. If something is wrong, return to the original and change only the setting related to that problem before exporting again.
What changes in your video
Compress a video file is meant to do one specific job, not to hide a long chain of automatic changes. Work from the original file and change only what you need. The tool can handle MP4, AVI, MOV, WebM, MKV where the browser and video engine support them, so the exact result still depends on the source video and the setting you choose.
How to do it in 3 steps
- 1Upload your video to compress
- 2Choose compression level (light, medium, high)
