How MP4 Compression Works
MP4 compression reduces file size by lowering video bitrate, optimizing encoding parameters, and removing redundant data while preserving visual quality as much as possible. During compression, the video stream is re-encoded using codecs such as H.264 or H.265, with adjustments to resolution, frame rate, and quality settings. In most cases, MP4 files can be reduced by 30%–90% while maintaining a smooth viewing experience.
