How to compress a video for Instagram online
Oversized videos have been shared and enjoyed for quite a while now; however, they sometimes don't quite match what works best on social media specs.
The Instagram size system is quite complicated; every post type has its specifications and restrictions. If you aren't sure what the recommended size for your post-to-be is, have a look at the complete guide.
For that, we offer you a tool that will compress your video for Instagram online, which means that it doesn't require any downloads. All modern browsers and devices support it.
Keep reading and follow three easy steps:
Upload a video to compress
Open Video Compressor by Clideo in any browser. Ensure you have a stable internet connection because the compression speed completely depends on it. Click the big blue pane "Choose file" and import a video from your camera roll or PC/Mac.
To add a recording from Google Drive or Dropbox, call a drop-down menu on the right of the main button.
Change compression settings
After the file is uploaded, you can select one of the compression settings that suit your needs best. You will be able to see the estimated compression rate for each option and remove the sound to make the file even smaller.
Finally, click "Compress" and wait until the tool will make your video smaller for Instagram.
Save the compressed video
As soon as your clip is processed, you'll see the new video size and the final compression percentage. It may easily reach 60-70% or even more.
Save your new recording to cloud storage or download it to your device. If you are a premium user and want to edit your video right away by adding text or music, you can select one of the tools under "Continue in" to automatically transfer your compressed video to the new tool.
