Best way to reduce MP4 size

The biggest file-size levers are duration, resolution, and bitrate. This page handles resolution and bitrate in a simple browser workflow.

Best first try

Use 720p for normal sharing and 480p for a more aggressive size reduction.

When this may fail

If the MP4 is long, you may need to trim it elsewhere before compression is enough.
