What does a video compressor do?

A video compressor reduces the file size of a video to allow for easy sharing and video storage. Many websites, social media platforms, and messaging apps have file size limits for uploading and sharing videos.

If your video is larger than the file size limits, you can quickly and easily compress your video to a smaller file size with ScreenPal to meet the file size requirements.
What video compressor is best?

Some factors to consider when choosing a video compressor are ease of use, speed, file compatibility, video quality, and additional video editing features that can aid in reducing file size as well.

ScreenPal meets all these criteria and offers the best video compressor because we offer a free, easy-to-use solution with three different compression options to choose from, as well as the ability to reduce video file size further through video trimming, video cropping, and converting the video file format as well.

ScreenPal’s video compressor is quick and easy to use, even for beginners. Simply open your video in ScreenPal’s free video editor, then select your video quality level (lower, normal, and higher) when publishing the video to adjust the video compression and resolution size.

You can also reduce the video file size as needed through trimming and cropping the video, or changing the video file format.
Will reducing the video size impact video quality?

ScreenPal offers three different options for video quality (lower, normal, and higher) when publishing a video, which determine the video resolution and file size. The video resolution you choose can impact the clarity of the video, depending on what device and screen you are viewing it with.

Trimming or cropping the video length with ScreenPal’s additional free video editing features can help reduce the video file size as well without impacting the video quality or resolution at all. Converting the video file format can help reduce the video file size as well depending on what file formats you are using.
Can I compress a video for email?

Yes, you can easily compress your video to meet file size requirements for email, messaging platform, social media, websites and more.

Many email providers have file size limits for attachments that are sent through emails, usually around a maximum file size of 20 MB. ScreenPal’s video compressor can help reduce the size of your video file so you can meet the file size requirements to send videos through email.
