Tips for a good result
- Keep the original resolution if the recording shows small text.
- WebFaz Screen Recorder also downloads the recording directly as MP4; use the compressor when the file still needs to get smaller.
What this tool does not do
- Small text may lose sharpness at low compression levels.
- WebM recordings made by other tools, which do not write the duration into the file, may not be read; those from WebFaz Screen Recorder come out right.
- The compression has quality losses.
- The new file carries the “WebFaz.com” credit in the metadata (comment and artist).
