FAQs
Answers to the questions people ask most about privacy, quality, limits, and Video Compressor.

The Compression slider is how much to shrink: 90% aims for a much smaller file, 10% is a light shrink. Start around 50%, check the estimate in Settings, then raise compression only if you need more size reduction. Heavy compression can introduce blur or artifacts.
Export usually re-encodes the kept segments in the browser so playback stays compatible. That can take time on long clips.
