# Video FPS

> Set a target frame rate for video compression to reduce file size

## 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)

## When to Use Each Option

### Same as input

Best for preserving original quality when file size isn't a concern.

### 60 fps

* Gaming videos
* Sports footage
* High-motion content

### 30 fps

* General web content
* Social media videos
* Screen recordings

### 24 fps

* Film-like aesthetic
* Cinematic content
* Good balance of quality and file size

### 15 fps

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

<Note>
  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.
