However, they are not easy to manage as any UHD 4K video would require high bandwidth to stream and a large storage space on the drive. Due to their large file size, these videos are difficult to share on web platforms or transfer to mobile devices.<\/p><p>Such situations call for video compression. The technique helps to reduce the file size so you can quickly share videos via email, upload online, or transfer them to PC, Mac, SD card, USB flash drive, iPhone, Android phone, etc.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-compress-video-files-without-losing-quality?\"><strong>How to compress video files without losing quality?<\/strong><\/h2><p>There are various tools and software that can be used to compress large-sized videos, without losing their quality. A video compressor software lets you reduce the file size by changing codec, resolution, bitrate, etc. However, it&rsquo;s recommended to compress video files by maintaining H.264 codec and high bitrate, preferably in MP4 format.<\/p><p>Resolution settings should be based on the device or platform on which you want to play or share videos. Many video compressor software provide built-in options, such as Compress for iPhone, Compress for Android, Compress for YouTube, etc.<\/p><p>Appropriate video compression settings can result in good video quality- without grains, blurriness, or distortion in the video movement.<\/p><p style=\"padding: 10px;border: 2px solid black\"><b>Note:<\/b> Remember that grains, blurriness, or other distortions due to wrong compression settings are irreversible.
