Video Compressor — frequently asked questions

How does video compression work here?

FFmpeg re-encodes your video in the browser with a more efficient bitrate (and optionally lower resolution), typically cutting file size by 40–70% while keeping the video watchable.

Is my video uploaded while compressing?

No. Everything runs locally via WebAssembly. The video never leaves your device — important for private or client footage.

How long does compression take?

It depends on your device and the video length — roughly real-time to 2× on a modern laptop. A 5-minute clip usually takes a few minutes.

Will the quality be acceptable?

For sharing, messaging, and web use, yes — compression targets visually similar output at a fraction of the size. Keep the original for editing or archival.
