Video Compressor: Resolution Options Explained

Introduction

The Video Compressor tool allows you to select the target resolution for your videos, helping you balance quality and file size by scaling the video while maintaining the aspect ratio.

Resolution Options

• Original Resolution: Keeps the video at its original resolution without scaling.
• 1080p (Full HD): Scales the video to 1080 pixels in height, suitable for high-definition displays.
• 720p (HD): Scales the video to 720 pixels in height, a good balance between quality and file size.
• 480p (SD): Scales the video to 480 pixels in height, ideal for smaller screens and faster loading.

How Resolution Scaling Works

• The tool uses FFmpeg’s scaling filter to adjust the video height.
• The width is automatically adjusted to maintain the original aspect ratio.
• Scaling down reduces file size and bandwidth requirements.

Tips for Choosing Resolution

• Use Original Resolution to preserve maximum quality.
• Choose 1080p or 720p for viewing on modern devices.
• Select 480p for quick sharing or limited bandwidth.
