How do I compress a video?

Compressing a video is pain-free with VEED. Upload your video, adjust the file size slider to suit your needs, and export the file! VEED’s Video Compressor will show you the file size (in MB) so you can easily adjust the video quality to get the exact file size you need (e.g., meeting an email attachment limit).

Will there be any loss in quality?

VEED ensures minimal to no loss in video quality when compressing your videos. You can let VEED automatically choose the best compression option for you or set it manually. However, if you select a higher-quality setting on the export page, your video’s file size will also increase.

What file types can I compress with VEED?

VEED works with all major video file formats (and audio formats, too!), but here’s a list of just a few file types we support. If you don’t see yours on this list, don’t worry; we support all major video and audio files. Upload to see if yours works. ASF, AVI, FLAC, FLV, GIF, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, WEBM, WMV.

Can I change the size of the video image to fit different social media platforms?

Yes! To resize the image of your video to fit Twitter, YouTube, Facebook Cover, Instagram Reels, and more, all you have to do is click ‘Settings’ and then choose the right size for your video from the dropdown menu. Our preset canvas sizes will automatically adjust your video footage to fit your chosen video platform.

Can I compress a video for email?

Of course! Most email clients have an attachment limit (often around 20-25MB). So, all you have to do is upload your video to the Compressor and then adjust the slider. That’s it! Just hit the ‘Compress’ button, and you’re all set!

Can I change bitrate, frames per second (FPS), resolution, and CRF?

If you’re looking for a more advanced set of options and wish to control CRF, bitrate, resolution, and FPS, click ‘Advanced Settings.’ You can adjust the video compression options to your specifications in this menu. Under ‘Resolution,’ you can choose from 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4k and more.
