Do I need to install an Android app to compress videos?

No. Recent Chrome or Edge on Android can compress videos right in the browser using your phone's built-in hardware encoder.

Is my video uploaded when I compress it on Android?

No. Your video stays on your Android phone the entire time and is never sent to a server.

What if my Android browser says it cannot compress video?

Make sure you are using an up-to-date version of Chrome or Edge on Android, as older browsers may lack WebCodecs support.

Why did a long 4K video fail on my phone?

Long 4K videos require a lot of memory. Pick a lower Resolution like 720p in the tool and run it again.
