Gadgetren – Smartphones or cell phones are now able to support users in capturing valuable moments through videos in good quality.

Due to the higher resolution and good quality, the video will of course have a very large file size. This is certainly inconvenient for some smartphone users with a limited internet network to quickly send videos to friends, family, or other people.

To do this, you can compress videos right on your phone to get a smaller file size with a quality that is not too much reduced compared to the original version.

Before compressing videos, the first thing you should do is download an application to compress videos on your mobile phone. I myself use Video Compressor Panda: Resize & Compress Video because it has good reviews, comments and downloads on the Google Play Store.

  1. First, download and install the Panda Video Compressor app from the Google Play Store

  3. On the main page of the application, select the video you want to compress
  4. After the video is selected, press the button Next bottom right in the app
  5. On page Set sizes, You will be shown the resolution, size and name of the video.
  6. You can also choose different types of compression according to your needsVideo compression 1
  7. For example, I made a decision Large files (just compress) because it still maintains the actual resolution and is of good quality
  8. After selecting the compression type, press the button compress bottom right
  9. The application will display the compression process with a percentage from 0% to 100%Video compression 2
  10. After the compression process is completed, you will be presented with the compressed video results page
  11. On this page you can compare the results, see the size of the original version of the video with compression, menu share share with others and menu Save on computer to save it on your mobile phone or smartphone

Even though I use the Large File (Just Compress) compression type, this application can compress the selected video to a smaller size than the original version. With this application, you can compress not only one video but also multiple videos at the same time directly.

In the meantime, if you want to compress the video even smaller, consider using a compression type other than Large File (Just Compress). The following types of compression are offered in the Panda Video Compressor application:

  • Small files (simple sharing) – allows a very small compression of the video size with a low resolution of up to 360 x 640 pixels.
  • Medium files (better quality) It is of standard quality with an average resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. It could be said that the quality of the compressed video still looks good.
  • Large files (compress only) – the compressed video quality can be almost the same as the original version because the resolution remains the same.
  • Adapt to email – the application optimizes the resolution and quality so that the size is suitable for sending via email
  • Custom Resolutions – Users can adjust the length and width of the resolution of the compressed video as desired
  • There is also a choice of video compression down to resolution 240 x 426 Pixels or 360 x 640 Pixels that naturally make the file size smaller than the original version.

Of course, you can compress the video according to your needs so that it can be quickly sent to others through social media, chat applications, email, and others. In the meantime, you can see the results of the compressed video instantly in the gallery application or HP standard photos.
