How to Compress Video Without Quality Loss
Do you want to compress a video using free software without affecting the quality of the video after processing? In this article, we are going to show you how to compress any video simply and free of charge while minimizing any loss of quality.
Why compress videos?
There are many reasons why you may want to compress videos without affecting the quality of the videos. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the main advantages of compressing videos:
- Compressed video will take up less space on your computer’s hard drive, so you can store more while having the same storage space (this also applies to external hard drives).
- Compressing a video will allow you to facilitate sharing on social networks: it will take less time to download, especially in the event of a slow internet connection.
- Compressing videos can also be useful to facilitate sharing by email or via a third-party service such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, which have limits not to be exceeded for sending large files for free.
- Compressing videos allows any computer and mobile device to play them without difficulty (a very heavy video in 4k cannot for example be correctly read by old computers).
- When videos are hosted on a hard drive on a website (without using a third-party service like YouTube, Dailymotion or Vimeo), compressed videos will be faster to load for Internet users and will take up less space on the server hosting the website.
