Frequently Asked Questions

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. The video is compressed entirely in your browser and never leaves your device.

What format is the compressed video?

MP4, which plays on phones, computers, social apps and browsers.

How much smaller will it be?

It depends on the video. Phone recordings often shrink by half or more at the balanced setting, and further at 720p or 480p.

Why is compression slow?

Your own device does the work, so nothing is uploaded. Long or high-resolution videos take longer; keep the tab open until it finishes.
