The Best Way to compress video
The best and easiest way to compress video files is to use HandBrake. It's free, safe, and super easy to use!
Here's why HandBrake is awesome:
- It's totally free and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux
- It has preset options that make compression super simple
- You can compress videos while keeping good quality
Quick steps to compress a video:
- Download HandBrake from handbrake.fr
- Open HandBrake and drag your video into it
- Choose 'Fast 1080p30' preset for most videos
- Click 'Start Encode' and wait for it to finish
If you need even smaller file sizes, try these tips:
- Lower the resolution (like from 1080p to 720p)
- Reduce the frame rate to 24 or 30 fps
- Use H.265 codec (it's newer and better at compression)
