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
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Same as input | Keep the original frame rate (default) |
| 60 | High frame rate for smooth motion |
| 30 | Standard frame rate for web and social media |
| 24 | Cinematic frame rate, smaller file size |
| 15 | Low 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)

How to Configure
1
Open Compresto
2
Go to Settings > Advanced
3
Select your preferred frame rate from the Target video FPS dropdown
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.
