Nowadays everyone has high-end smartphones with a good camera, and many companies are focusing on smartphone cameras only. A good smartphone camera means high-definition video quality which takes lots of space. And sharing those Big video files isn’t a good idea because it takes lots of time and the internet. Or if you’re using a DSLR camera to shoot videos then a single video takes a minimum of 1 GB of space. And at the end, two option remains to us delete video files or compress video using video compression software.
There are dozens of Video compressor / Video compression software available on the internet but some of them paid, and some are too old. Only a few software available that provides the capability to convert video into HEVC codec / x265 codec known as HEVC converter.
What is the HEVC codec / H.265 codec?
HEVC stands for High-efficiency Video Coding, also known as H.265 / MPEG-H 2. It is the latest video file codec, and the best part is it doesn’t destroy video quality. For Example, if you have a 1 GB video File that is of 1080p quality. And, if you compress it using video compression software into HEVC codec then the File size will be around 250 MB, and quality remains the same.
If you’re searching for an online video compressor, then it’s not a good idea to use online software. Because to convert any video you need first to upload it to the site server then the compression process will start. And after that, it will allow you to download so that that whole process will take time and an internet pack. And if the file size is around 1 GB+ then it’s not a good idea to use online video compressor software.
