Overview

Compresto allows you to set a target frame rate (FPS) for video compression. Reducing the frame rate can significantly decrease file size while maintaining acceptable visual quality for certain types of content.

Available Options

OptionDescription
Same as inputKeep the original frame rate (default)
60High frame rate for smooth motion
30Standard frame rate for web and social media
24Cinematic frame rate, smaller file size
15Low frame rate for maximum compression

How It Works

The target FPS setting only reduces frame rate - it never increases it. If your input video has a lower frame rate than the target, the original frame rate is preserved. For example:
  • Input: 60 fps, Target: 30 fps → Output: 30 fps
  • Input: 24 fps, Target: 30 fps → Output: 24 fps (unchanged)

When to Use Each Option

  • Sports footage
  • High-motion content

30 fps

  • General web content

  • Screen recordings

24 fps

  • Film-like aesthetic

15 fps

  • Simple animations
  • Slideshows with minimal motion
  • Maximum file size reduction

How to Configure

Open Compresto

Lowering frame rate reduces file size but may make motion appear less smooth. Use lower frame rates only when the content doesn’t require high motion fidelity.
