Best Quality:
Your video will be compressed with the highest clarity and detail. Processing may take longer, especially for large files.

Balanced:
A good balance between compression quality and processing time. Recommended for most users.

Fast:
Your video will be compressed faster with some reduction in visual quality. Ideal when you want quicker availability.

Data Saver:
Compresses the video for the smallest final file size. Fastest processing but with lower visual quality.

• MP4 (.mp4): Widely supported and recommended format.
• AVI (.avi): Common, older format that is still accepted.
• MOV (.mov): Apple QuickTime format, great for high-quality video.
• MKV (.mkv): Feature-rich format, ideal for long or HD videos.

Suitable for children 7 years and older. May include mild cartoon or fantasy violence, but still child-friendly.

Choosing the correct age restriction helps protect viewers and keeps your content compliant with regulations and community guidelines.

To protect creators and copyright holders, you must check the box confirming that you own the rights to the video or have obtained proper permissions to publish it. This ensures your upload complies with legal standards.

All uploads must follow our Community Guidelines. These include rules against hate speech, harassment, explicit content, copyright infringement, and misleading or harmful content. Repeated violations may result in content removal or account suspension.

Your title, description, and keywords help others discover your video in search results. Use clear, relevant, and accurate wording that reflects your content. For example, if your video is a travel vlog in Cape Town, use terms like “Cape Town travel vlog” or “South Africa adventure”.
