Quality Presets:

Tips for Best Results

Browser Recommendations

For the best experience, use:

• Google Chrome (version 89+) - Recommended
• Microsoft Edge (version 89+)
• Firefox (version 89+)
• Safari (version 15+)

File Size Considerations

Since processing happens in your browser, very large files (over 2GB) may take longer or require more system memory. For best results:

• Close unnecessary browser tabs
• Use a device with at least 8GB RAM for large files
• Be patient - processing time depends on video length and your device speed

Output Quality Tips

• Always start with the highest quality source video possible
• Use "High Quality" preset for final exports
• Only use compression when necessary
• For YouTube uploads, the platform will compress anyway, so upload high quality

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Content Creator Pro really free?

Yes, 100% free with no hidden costs, watermarks, or premium features locked behind paywalls.

Are my videos uploaded to your servers?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your videos never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.

Why is processing taking so long?

Processing speed depends on your device's capabilities and the video file size. Longer videos and higher resolutions take more time. A 10-minute 1080p video might take 2-5 minutes to process on a modern computer.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes, but desktop browsers provide a better experience due to more available memory and processing power. For quick edits, mobile works fine.

What's the maximum file size I can process?

There's no hard limit, but very large files (over 2GB) may cause issues on devices with limited memory. For best results, keep files under 1GB.

Can I process multiple videos at once?

Currently, you need to process videos one at a time. This ensures each video gets full processing resources for faster completion.
