Frequently Asked Questions

Why are game clips files so large?

Game clips are typically MP4 files at 1080p 60fps or 4K 60fps. Console and PC recordings use high bitrates (20-100Mbps) to capture fast motion. This high quality is great for capture, but creates unnecessarily large files for sharing and storage. Compression can reduce size by 60-80% without noticeable quality loss.

Will compressing game clips reduce quality?

With smart compression settings, quality loss is minimal. Most viewers won't notice the difference, especially when viewing on phones or tablets. The key is choosing the right resolution and bitrate for your intended use.

What's the best format for game clips?

We recommend MP4 with H.264 codec. This provides excellent compression and works on virtually all devices.

Can I compress game clips on my phone?

Yes! This tool works in mobile browsers (Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android). You can compress videos right on your phone without uploading them anywhere.

How much can I compress game clips?

Typically you can reduce file size by 60-80% with minimal visible quality loss. Downscaling to 1080p often provides the best balance.
