What is an online video compressor tool?
An online video compressor tool is a website or web-based application that allows you to compress videos without the need to download or install any software on your computer. These tools usually work by allowing you to upload a video file to their servers, where the compression process takes place, and then providing you with a compressed version of the video to download or share. Some popular online video compressor tools include:
- Ssemble Video Compressor
- Online-Convert.com
- VideoSmaller.com
- CompressVideo.net
- FileConverto.com
These tools typically offer a range of compression options such as changing the resolution, bit rate, and format of the video, as well as the ability to remove unnecessary elements from the video. They are useful for people who do not have access to video compression software or for those who only need to compress a video occasionally. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the quality of the compressed video may not be as good as if you use a professional software.
How to reduce video file size?
- Choose a video compression software: There are several free and paid video compression software options available, such as Ssemble video compressor tool, Handbrake, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Windows Movie Maker.
- Import the video: Open the software and import the video you want to reduce the file size of by dragging and dropping it or using the “Open” or “Import” button.
- Reduce the resolution: Lowering the resolution of the video will decrease the file size. For example, 1080p resolution will result in a larger file size than 720p resolution.
- Decrease the bit rate: The bit rate of a video controls the amount of data that is used to represent one second of video. Lowering the bit rate will also reduce the file size.
- Change the format: Different video formats have different compression levels. Changing the format of the video to a more efficient one can also help to reduce the file size.
- Remove unnecessary elements: If the video has any unnecessary elements such as background music or subtitles, remove them to decrease the file size.
- Compress the video: Once you have made the necessary changes, click on the “Start” or “Compress” button to begin the compression process.
- Save the compressed video: Once the compression is complete, save the compressed video to your desired location on your computer.
- Check the quality of the compressed video: Before you share or upload the compressed video, make sure to check the quality of the video to ensure it meets your standards.
