Tips for Better Compression Results
Use Auto mode first
Auto mode analyzes your video content and chooses the optimal bitrate automatically. It's the best starting point for most videos.
Lower resolution reduces size the most
If file size is critical, consider downscaling to 720p or 480p. Resolution reduction has a larger impact than bitrate tweaks alone.
MP4 with H.264 is universally compatible
Our output always uses H.264/MP4 for maximum device and platform compatibility, including Discord, WhatsApp, and all major browsers.
For Discord: target under 9.5 MB
Discord's limit is 10 MB for free users. Set Target File Size to 9.5 MB to stay safely under the limit with a small buffer.
Short clips compress better
Trim your video to only the essential content before compressing. Removing even a few seconds dramatically reduces the output size.
