- 1

Its current frame rate is shown.
- 2
Pick the new rate
15, 24, 25, 30 or 60 fps.
- 3
Stack compress if needed
Lower frame rate + compression gives the smallest files.
- 4

Same length and sound, new frame rate.
Popular ways to use it
Smaller phone videos
60 fps phone clips at 30 fps take noticeably less space.
Cinematic 24 fps
Match film-style footage or a 24 fps edit timeline.
PAL 25 fps
Deliver to broadcasters and editors that use 25 fps.
Tiny previews
15 fps is fine for screen recordings and quick previews.
Tips for the best result
- Lowering the frame rate never changes the length or the sound.
- Stack with "Compress" for the smallest possible file.
- Raising the frame rate only repeats frames — it won't add smoothness.
Frame rate — FAQ
Will 30 fps make my video smaller?
Yes — halving the frame rate from 60 to 30 fps usually makes the file noticeably smaller at the same quality.
Does raising the frame rate make it smoother?
No — going above the original rate only repeats frames. It is useful when an editor or platform requires a specific rate.
Will the video play faster or slower?
No — frames are dropped or repeated so the length stays exactly the same.
What frame rate is best for social media?
30 fps is the safe default everywhere; 60 fps for fast gaming or sports.
Can I get slow motion by changing fps?
Use "Change speed" for slow motion — frame rate alone keeps the same speed.
