Best Practices for Using a Video Compressor Online to Reduce File Size

A smaller file does not have to lose visual impact. With a few simple adjustments, you can compress your videos while keeping them clean, smooth and ready to share. HeyGen recommends trimming extra footage before exporting to lower the overall file size and choosing 1080p or 720p for the best balance of clarity and compression.
