How This Video Compressor Works

Unlike traditional online video compressors that require uploading your files to remote servers, our tool uses client-side processing technology without any payment or credit card. This means:

1. You select your video file from your computer
2. All compression happens directly in your browser using JavaScript
3. No data is transmitted to any server
4. You download the compressed file back to your computer

Privacy Benefit: Your sensitive videos (personal memories, confidential content, business presentations) remain completely private on your device.

🔧 Compression Settings Explained

Our video compressor offers three main settings to balance quality and file size:

1. Quality Setting (10-100%)

Higher % = Better quality but larger file
Recommended: 70-80% for optimal balance

2. Resolution Scaling

Reduce video dimensions (1080p → 720p) to significantly decrease file size while maintaining decent quality for most screens.

3. Bitrate Control

Adjust the data rate of the video. Lower bitrate = smaller file but potential quality reduction.
