About Compress Video to Target Size

Exact file size targeting requires calculating the combined bit budget. Because video file size = (video_bitrate + audio_bitrate) * duration_in_seconds / 8, our engine dynamically tunes quantization parameters to conform strictly to your target file size ceiling.

Supported Formats
