FAQ
How much smaller will my video get?
Smallest typically cuts file size by 60–80% versus a default phone export; balanced lands around 40–60% with visually transparent quality.
Will compression look pixelated?
Best and balanced targets are tuned to stay clean at normal playback. Use Smallest for clips where file size matters more than fidelity.
Is there a length limit?
The compressor processes up to 3 minutes per job and files up to 100 MB — enough for nearly every social or email use case.
