Seven MethodsFlexible Video Compression

Method 1: Directly Specify a Target Size for Compression

The easiest and most direct way to make your videos smaller!

Best for: Quickly uploading videos to Email, SNS, and video sites.

Example: For compressing a video for Discord or Email, you can enter the target size in the File Size field of the Compress tool. Or, you can drag the slider from 10% to 100% to get the ideal size.

How to Steps:

  • Import your footage, and click Compress in the toolbox.
  • Enter the target size or drag the slider to set the compression ratio.
  • Click Done and hit RUN.

Tip: You can also reduce the resolution or change format as needed.

$9.99: 100MB
$4.99: 50MB
16MB 25MB Around 25MB 25MB 25MB 2GB

Method 2: Re-encode or Transcode - Keep a Balance between Quality and Size

Get 90% file size without a perceptible quality change.

Best for: Archiving or distribution when balancing quality, size, or high compatibility is key.

Example: Convert H.264 to HEVC/AV1 for up to 90% file size reduction on modern devices with no quality loss. Re-encode MKV/MP4/AVI/MOV for smaller files without compatibility issues. Choose AV1 for 4K YouTube to save streaming bandwidth.

How to Steps:

  • Click "+Video" or "+Folder" to load the source video(s).
  • Go to the Target Format > Video > choose an output format.
  • Uncheck "Auto Copy" and hit "RUN".

Tip: Not happy with your editor's compression? Export an intermediate file, then compress with VideoProc Converter AI for better quality.

Method 3: Increase GOP Length for Low-motion and Static Videos

A longer GOP (Group of Pictures) length enables more efficient compression, leading to higher quality at lower bitrates. This is ideal when video fluidity isn't critical, but reducing redundant keyframe data is paramount.

Best for: Low-motion and static videos with little frame changes (such as surveillance and lecture recording).

Steps: Import a video -> choose an output format (recommend MP4 HEVC) -> go to Option -> find GOP and set the value:

  • For low-motion video: set the GOP value between 90 and 250 generally.
  • For sports or high-motion video: set the GOP value to 30-60 generally.
  • For further editing: set the GOP value to 30 generally.

Tip: Also optimized for high-motion videos. For high frame rates, high-speed footage, or complex subjects, slightly adjust GOP length to achieve a smaller file size.

GOP Overall Bitrate Duration Format/Codec Resolution Frame Rate
Before
485 MB
60 66.3 Mbps 1 min 1 s MP4 HEVC 2704x1520 59.94fps (CFR)
After
30.2 MB
250 4138 Kbps 1 min 1 s MP4 HEVC 2704x1520 59.94fps (CFR)

Method 4: Lower the Frame Rate

While higher frame rates deliver a smoother video experience, they also create larger files. When there's minimal action or fluidity isn't a critical concern, reducing the frame rate can significantly shrink file size without noticeable quality loss.

Best for: Slideshows, podcasts, webinars, CCTV footage, static drone shots (DJI), and older anime.

Examples:

  • Reduce 60fps video to 30fps or 24fps for standard viewing.

  • Lower 30fps video to 15fps for substantial file size reduction, ideal for time-lapse videos.

How-to Steps:

  • Import the source video in Video Converter, and choose an output format.
  • Click "codec Option" > find "Frame Rate" > Select a smaller option.
  • Hit "Done", uncheck "Auto Copy", and hit "RUN".

Tip: Also optimized for high-motion videos. For high frame rates, high-speed footage, or complex subjects, slightly adjust GOP length to achieve a smaller file size.

Method 5: Reduce Bitrate

A higher bitrate typically translates to a larger file and better quality. So, decreasing bitrate is the most effective way to shrink video size. This method is perfect when you need precise control over quality-to-size balance, or for complex, dynamic videos.

Best for: Sharing across streaming platforms with varied bandwidths, and compressing high-action content like sports and game recordings.

Examples:

  • Cut 10Mbps to 5Mbps for a smaller file, accepting a slight quality trade-off.
  • Use Variable Bitrate (VBR) to optimize high-action scenes by allocating data only when needed.

How-to Steps:

  • Click "Video Converter" > Add a video > Choose a target format (same as the original).
  • codec Option > Bit Rate > Select "Manual" > choose "CBR" or "ABR" > input a target bitrate.
  • Uncheck "Auto Copy" and hit "RUN".

Tip: Beyond a certain point, increasing bitrate won't noticeably improve perceived quality.

Method 6: Downscale Resolution

Higher resolution means more pixels, richer detail, and better quality, but it comes with a significantly larger file size. Reducing resolution is an effective way to shrink videos when maximum detail isn't required.

Best for: Playing videos on small-screen devices like iPhones, or watching content when bandwidth is limited.

Examples:

  • Convert 1080p to 720p for smooth playback on smartphones.
  • Change resolution to 1080x1350 for Instagram.

How-to Steps:

  • Input a video in Video Converter, and choose a target format.
  • Go to Codec Options > Resolution > Select a lower video resolution. Or, you can customize.
  • Hit "Done", uncheck "Auto Copy" and hit "RUN".

Tips: You can also choose Resolution in the Compress tool in Toolbox.

Method 7: Remove or Adjust Audio

The majority of people tend to watch videos on social media with the sound muted. Try removing the audio or adjusting the audio bitrate/sample rate/channel to make your video smaller.

Best for: Silent content (e.g., mute quick cuts, GIF alternatives) or when audio requires separate processing (e.g., post-production voiceovers).

How to Mute Audio

  • Go to "Video Converter" and drag a video.
  • Find Audio from the source video on the display panel.
  • Uncheck the audio track until you see "Audio Disabled".

How to Adjust Audio

  • Go to "Video Converter" and drag a video.
  • Codec Option > Audio Codec Options > choose a lower Sample Rate, Bitrate, or Audio channel.
  • Hit "Done", uncheck "Auto Copy" and hit "RUN".

Bonus: Other Methods to Make a Video File Smaller

1. Cut off Unwanted Clips

Cut and remove the unusable segments in a video. Shorten the video to reduce the final file size while keeping the original video/audio quality.

2. Split Long Video

If your video is long, you can split it into parts to export and upload them to UGC sites separately.

3. Crop and Resize

Cropping the frame size of a video to remove an unwanted area will reduce file size. You can keep the original aspect ratio or resize the video image to fit a different screen or platform.

4. Convert Video to GIF

Adding a GIF instead of a video as an attachment is friendly for Email sending. Changing your video into an animated GIF will reduce the file size while making it fun.

  • How much can I typically compress a video?

    Compression rates vary widely depending on the original video, the method used, and your quality tolerance. However, with efficient tools and settings, it's often possible to reduce video size by 50% to over 90% from its original size.

  • Why does my video look blurry after uploading to social media?

    Social media platforms often re-compress uploaded videos to save their own bandwidth and storage. If your initial compression was already aggressive, the platform's re-compression can lead to a noticeable drop in quality. It's often best to compress just enough to meet their upload limits while maintaining good quality, letting the platform do its final pass.
