Embedded videos make presentations huge and slow. This tool compresses videos for smooth playback in PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote — keeping your presentation file manageable.
A 2-minute 1080p video adds 200-400MB to your presentation. Email limits, cloud storage, and slow playback make this impractical. Compressing to 20-50MB solves all these issues.
