FAQs
Will compressing my MP4 reduce the video quality?
Not noticeably. Our compressor uses intelligent bitrate optimization that removes redundant data while preserving visual clarity. Most users see a 70-90% file size reduction with no visible quality loss during normal playback. The key is that we adjust the bitrate based on scene complexity, so static scenes compress more aggressively while fast-motion sequences retain the detail they need.
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
You can compress MP4 files up to 5 GB each. This covers virtually all common use cases, from long 4K recordings to multi-hour screen captures. If your file is larger than 5 GB, try trimming it into segments first, then compress each part separately.
How much smaller will my compressed MP4 be?
Typical results range from 40% to 90% size reduction depending on the original file. Videos shot at very high bitrates (like raw camera footage) compress the most. A 500 MB clip often shrinks to 50-150 MB while looking virtually identical. Already-compressed videos from social media downloads will see smaller reductions, typically 20-40%.
Is it safe to upload my videos? What happens to my files?
Your files are processed on secure servers and automatically deleted after compression is complete. We do not store, view, or share your videos. The entire process happens over an encrypted HTTPS connection, so your content stays private from upload to download.
Can I compress multiple MP4 files at once?
Yes. You can batch compress up to 50 videos simultaneously, which saves hours compared to processing them one at a time. Each file is compressed independently with optimal settings, so you get the best result for every video regardless of its original resolution or bitrate.
Will my compressed MP4 play on all devices and platforms?
Yes. We output standard MP4 files using the H.264 codec, which is universally supported by every major device, browser, and platform. Your compressed videos will play perfectly on iPhones, Android phones, Windows, Mac, and upload without issues to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and any other platform.
