How To Compress Video Without Losing Quality (Reduce Video File Size)

Introduction

Having very large video files can be quite annoying, especially when you need to upload them online or send them to someone. For example, recently I needed to send a 5 GB video file to my editor. The massive file size meant it would take a lot of time to upload and download. Additionally, with the compression that happens on social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram, waiting for such a long time isn't always worth it.

To solve this issue, you can use a good compressor. In this article, I'll guide you through the steps to compress any file without losing quality using Mare UniConverter.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Download Mare UniConverter

First, head over to the Mare UniConverter website. I'll leave the link in the description below where you can check it out.

Download the software: Click on the download link. I already have it downloaded so I won’t go through this step in detail.

2. Open the Software

Once you’ve downloaded Mare UniConverter, open it.

3. Go to the Compressor

Next, navigate to the Compressor section within the software.

4. Upload Your File

Upload the file you want to compress. In this example, I'll use a large video file.

Grant access: The software will ask to have access to the folder where your file is located. Click "Yes."

5. Set the Compression Level

You can compress the file to your desired size.

Quality Adjustment: If you want to keep high quality, set the compression level to at least 70%.
File Size Needs: For instance, if your file needs to be under 500 MB, you might want to set compression to 50%. This way, your file remains high quality while still being smaller in size.

6. Start Compression

Once you’re satisfied with the settings, click on the Compress button.

Time to Compress: This usually takes a few minutes. In my experience, it takes around 5 minutes, but it may vary.
