Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about compressing video offline.
How much can video file size be reduced?
Depending on your source video's original bitrate and resolution, file sizes typically drop by 60% to 85% in Balanced mode, and up to 90% in Heavy Compression or email attachment presets without noticeable loss in normal viewing.
Are my personal or confidential videos uploaded to a server?
Never. FileFryer is completely serverless. All encoding, frame scaling, and packaging runs in your browser using WebCodecs and HTML5 APIs. You can even disconnect your internet while compressing.
Does the compressed video work on iPhone and Android?
Yes! By default, the tool outputs standard H.264 MP4 with fast-start metadata headers, ensuring compatibility with iOS Photos, Android Gallery, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, and social media platforms.
Can I compress videos to fit within Discord or Email upload limits?
Yes! The dedicated Discord (<25MB) and Email (<15MB) presets calculate the exact target bitrate and downscale resolution automatically so your clip attaches without size rejection errors.
Will video compression strip the audio track from my clip?
No. FileFryer captures and remuxes your original audio stream alongside the compressed video frames, maintaining synchronized sound in the final output.
Is there any video file size or length cap for compression?
There are no arbitrary account or file size paywalls. FileFryer can compress videos of any size or duration as long as your computer or phone has sufficient browser RAM to decode frames.
