Quick Tips
- Trim first. Cut unnecessary parts before compressing. Shorter video = better quality at same file size.
- 480p is fine for most content. On a phone screen, 480p and 1080p look nearly identical in a small email player.
- Use H.264 codec. Maximum compatibility across all devices and platforms.
Compress your video under 25MB — free, optimized quality.
