How to: Compress Video
- Select videos.
- Choose quality and resolution.
- Download the smaller video.
Phone videos are huge – a few minutes of 4K can exceed a gigabyte. Compressing to 720p or 480p makes them easy to email, share in chats or upload, without sending private footage to a server.
Common uses
- Email or message videos that exceed size limits.
- Free up phone storage.
- Upload videos faster to course or job platforms.
Tips for best results
- 720p is a good balance for phones and laptops.
- Trim unneeded parts first.
How video compression works
Video size depends mainly on resolution and bitrate. Reducing 4K or 1080p footage to 720p cuts the number of pixels by more than half, and lowering bitrate removes detail the eye rarely notices on a phone screen.
Recommended settings
720p at medium quality is ideal for email, chat apps and course uploads. 480p is fine for very small files and speech-only recordings. Keep 1080p for content that will be watched on large screens.
