How to Reduce Video File Size

Why Reduce Video Size?

Large video files are hard to share via messaging apps, email, or social media. SaveClip offers two ways to reduce file size:

Method 1: Compress

Use Video Compressor to set an exact target size (e.g., 16 MB, 25 MB).

Method 2: Convert to Smaller Format

Use Video Converter with H.265 codec — produces files 30-50% smaller than H.264 at similar quality.

Tips

• Lower resolution (720p instead of 1080p) significantly reduces file size
• H.265 codec produces smaller files but may not play on older devices
• Short clips compress much better than long videos
