Frequently Asked Questions
How does the size-target compression work?
The tool calculates the exact video bitrate needed to hit your chosen size limit based on your video's length, then encodes to match — so your output lands close to the target automatically.
Why do WhatsApp, Discord, and email have different limits?
Each platform enforces its own file size cap for uploads or attachments — WhatsApp is 16MB, standard Discord is 10MB, and most email providers cap attachments around 25MB.
What does "Balanced Quality" mode do instead?
Rather than hitting an exact file size, it compresses using a quality-based setting that typically shrinks files significantly while keeping visual quality solid — useful when you don't have a specific size limit to hit.
How long does compression take?
It depends on video length and your device's processing power — longer videos and older devices take more time, since all the encoding work happens on your own CPU.
Will compression always exactly match my target size?
It lands very close, but single-pass encoding has some natural variance — for hard limits, aim slightly under your actual cap for a safety margin.
