Frequently Asked Questions

Why are presentation recordings files so large?

Presentations are usually screen recordings with or without speaker video, recorded at 720p-1080p. They often contain static slides with occasional transitions. 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 presentation recordings 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 presentation recordings?

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

Can I compress presentation recordings 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 presentation recordings?

Typically you can reduce file size by 60-80% with minimal visible quality loss. Downscaling to 720p often provides the best balance.
