FAQ
Does videocompressor.online upload my video?
No upload by default. In the standard local workflow, supported browsers process the selected video on your device.
Can it always hit 10MB or 16MB?
No. Target size depends on source file, duration, resolution, codec, device, and browser. We show target-missed recovery steps instead of pretending it always works.
Which browser works best?
Desktop Chrome or Edge. Safari, iPhone, older laptops, long recordings, or high-resolution files may be slower or unsupported.
Do you track filenames or video content?
No. Analytics, if enabled, uses non-sensitive buckets such as preset selected, size bucket, browser family, and completion status.
