Why compress video?
Video files grow large quickly. Here's what changes when you make them smaller.
Videos that are easier to move around
Smaller video files take up less space and are easier to upload, attach and share across apps.
- Easier to share. Send clips through email and messaging apps that cap file sizes.
- Lighter uploads. Smaller files are easier to upload to websites and cloud storage.
- Less storage used. Keep more recordings on your phone, laptop or drive.
What is video compression?
Video compression reduces a video's file size by encoding it more efficiently and trimming data you are unlikely to notice. The video plays as before, with a lighter file that is easier to store and share.

Will compressing a video lower its quality?
Compression always balances file size against detail. Light compression usually looks much the same, while very strong compression can soften the picture, so check the result before you share it.
