Mirrorless cameras shoot 4K, 6K and 8K at 100 to 400 Mbps. Re-encode your camera footage to H.265 or AV1 and keep the full resolution. On our 11 test clips, H.265 on an NVIDIA GPU cut 254.9 MB to 128.4 MB, and no file came out bigger.
Download Free TrialMirrorless and DSLR cameras prioritize recording reliability and editing flexibility, resulting in very high bitrates:
After editing, the raw footage remains on your drives taking up enormous space. Re-encoding to H.265 recovers most of that storage with no visible quality difference.
Drag your photo/video folder and let it find and compress every video:
Our 11 test clips at the default setting (H.265, quality 23), measured in September 2026 on a Ryzen 9 3900X and an RTX 3080. Savings run from nothing, where the source was already efficient and the original was kept, to 96 % on an old DV tape. Yours depend on your footage.
| Clip | CPU (Ryzen 9 3900X) | GPU (RTX 3080) |
|---|---|---|
| Timelapse, 1440p | −3 % | original kept |
| Drone, 1440p | −47 % | −48 % |
| GoPro, 1080p | original kept | −31 % |
| Lecture recording, 1440p | −55 % | −36 % |
| Travel video, 1080p | −21 % | −5 % |

| Phone video, 720p | −60 % | −65 % |
| SD TV episode | −13 % | original kept |
| Web video, 720p | −23 % | −8 % |
| All 11 clips | 254.9 → 138.1 MB (−46 %) | 254.9 → 128.4 MB (−50 %) |
None of these clips is 4K. For 4K footage, run Test Encode (10s) on one of your own files before the whole folder.
