How to Reduce Video File Size

Why Reduce Video Size?

Large video files are hard to share via messaging apps, email, or social media. save-clip 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
