Video compression FAQ
Does this video compressor upload my file to a server?
No. Processing runs in your browser using local compute; files are not sent to ConversionTab servers for this tool.
Which MKV workflows is this useful for?
Quick edits, QA checks, and one-off exports when you need a browser-based workflow without installing desktop software.
How do I verify the result?
Download the output, confirm duration and playback, and use the metadata viewer if your pipeline requires detailed stream checks.
