Video often takes up a lot of room in our devices for its large size, which gradually makes the devices run slowly. We usually choose to delete videos to release some memory, losing them permanently.
However, there's a better way to save our device's memory without deleting videos. Reducing video size is quite helpful. Not only does the video take a much smaller room in this way but also keeps its content effectively. In fact, videos of high quality are unnecessary in most cases. Take sending videos on the internet as an example, the small size of the video can improve the transmission speed.
By transforming the video format or lowing video quality, the storage space gets freed greatly. Methods of reducing video size are shown below. Have a try!
