Tips for a good result
- 4K videos get much smaller when going to 1080p.
- In advanced mode you can lower the frame rate from 60 to 30.
What this tool does not do
- It accepts MOV, MP4 and M4V as input.
- The compression has quality losses.
- Long 4K videos are heavy for the browser and may take a while.
- The new file carries the “WebFaz.com” credit in the metadata (comment and artist).
Frequently asked questions
- Why is the iPhone video so big?
- The iPhone records at high quality, and at 4K or 60 frames per second the file grows fast.
- Can I keep the original resolution?
- Yes, leave the resolution on Original and only lower the compression level.
