Compress Video: what to know
Compressing a video re-encodes it at a lower bitrate, the number of bits used for each second of picture. Phones and cameras record at high bitrates so they never lose detail, which makes their files far bigger than they need to be for sharing.
JustYourVideo re-encodes to MP4 with H.264, the most widely playable format, at a bitrate chosen from the video's resolution and frame rate and always below the original's. You can also type a target size; very small targets lower the resolution too, because a sharp small picture looks better than a blocky big one.
