Understanding Video File Size Factors

Video files grow large because they contain enormous amounts of data - essentially thousands of images plus audio tracks. A single minute of uncompressed 1080p footage would consume gigabytes. Modern video codecs achieve remarkable compression, but even compressed videos often exceed what is practical for sharing, uploading, or storing efficiently.

The Video Compressor reduces file sizes by adjusting the balance between quality and data volume. Resolution reduction decreases pixel count while maintaining watchability on smaller screens. Bitrate adjustment controls how much data represents each second of footage - lower bitrates mean smaller files with some quality tradeoff. Frame rate reduction suits content without fast motion. The tool applies these techniques while attempting to preserve perceptual quality. Social media uploads, email attachments, cloud storage optimization, and website hosting all benefit from videos sized appropriately for their intended use.
