Tips & Tricks
Fast Conversion Tips
- Use server conversion for large video files (100MB+) to leverage our powerful dedicated servers.
- For small images (<10MB), client-side conversion is instant and doesn't require upload time.
- Our smart routing automatically measures your network speed and chooses the optimal conversion method.
- Batch conversions are processed in parallel on the server with multiple files simultaneously for maximum efficiency.
Quality vs File Size Balance
- Images: JPEG quality 85-90 provides excellent visual quality with 50% smaller files than maximum quality.
- Videos: For web sharing, 720p or 1080p resolution is sufficient; 4K videos are 4x larger with minimal visual difference on most screens.
- Modern Formats: WebP (images) and AVIF (images) offer superior compression—up to 30% smaller than JPEG/PNG with the same quality.
Network Speed Optimization
- Fast Connection (50+ Mbps): Server conversion is almost always faster due to our high-performance hardware.
- Slow Connection (<10 Mbps): For small files, client-side conversion avoids slow upload times.
- Mobile Networks: Client-side conversion saves mobile data by eliminating upload/download.
