How do I compress a Video?

Compressing a video is easy. All you have to do is upload a video a file, adjust the slider (between Smaller File and Higher Quality) to suit your needs, and click ‘Compress Video’. That’s it! VEED’s Video Compressor will show you the file size (in MB) so you can easily adjust the video quality to get the exact file size you need (eg. if you need to meet an email attachment limit)

Will there be any loss in quality?

VEED’s Video Compressor ensures your video will be exported at the maximum possible quality for the size of the file exported. You can choose how good you want the quality to be. If you increase the quality then you also increase the file size.

So the choice is yours - you can try different export options and keep the video file that works best for you

What they say about VEED

Veed is a great piece of browser software with the best team I've ever seen. Veed allows for subtitling, editing, effect/text encoding, and many more advanced features that other editors just can't compete with. The free version is wonderful, but the Pro version is beyond perfect. Keep in mind that this a browser editor we're talking about and the level of quality that Veed allows is stunning and a complete game changer at worst.

The Best & Most Easy to Use Simple Video Editing Software! I had tried tons of other online editors on the market and been disappointed. With VEED I haven't experienced any issues with the videos I create on there. It has everything I need in one place such as the progress bar for my 1-minute clips, auto transcriptions for all my video content, and custom fonts for consistency in my visual branding.
