Video Compressor
With Flixier's Video Compressor quick tool, you can easily optimize your videos for efficient storage and seamless sharing.
Steps to Compress a Video from the Flixier Dashboard
- Navigate to the All Tools tab on the left-side panel of your main dashboard. Click on the Compress Video tile under the For video section.
- You can upload a media file directly from your device by clicking Select a file or by dragging and dropping it into the designated upload area. Also, you can select an existing file from your Flixier library, Dropbox, Google Drive, or Google Photos.
- Once uploaded, you will see a preview of your video alongside its current File Details. In the left-hand menu, choose between two Compression modes: Bitrate or CRF.
- Use the top slider to adjust the exact amount of compression you need, ranging from Smaller File to High Quality. Use the bottom slider to set the Frame rate.
- Under the compression mode settings, you can use the Resolution dropdown menu to further reduce the dimensions of your video.
- As you adjust these settings, keep an eye on the Estimated Compressed Size at the bottom left to ensure the final output meets your requirements.
- Click the Compress Video button to begin the optimization process. A loading screen will appear while your file is being compressed.
- Once finished, the page will display the exact percentage of size reduction achieved. You can then click the Download Video button to save it to your device, or click Edit Video to open the newly compressed file directly inside the Flixier editor.
