6 Ways | How to Resize MP4 Video File Size Easily?

There may be situations where you need to resize MP4 files, whether for faster uploading on sharing sites, smoother importing in editing software, or to save storage space. Then how to make an MP4 file smaller without noticeable loss in visual quality? We’ve got you covered. You’ll learn how to resize MP4 videos in different ways.

Method 1. Change MP4 video encoder without quality loss.

MP4 is a container format for storing data and its encoder greatly affects the size of video. For instance, an MP4 video with H265 encoder has higher compression ratio than an MP4 video with MPEG4 encoder and MP4 (H265) is much smaller than MP4 (MPEG4). So you can reduce MP4 video file by changing the encoder.

Step 1. Launch the MP4 resizer, select Converter and click on “Add Files” to import the target files.

Step 2.  Click on “Output Format” and select “H265 for MP4” under “Video” tab to resize MP4.

Step 3. Click on “Run” on the right corner to start the process.

Method 2. Use the built-in Batch compression button

Then hit “Ok” .

Step 4. Hit “Run” to start your task.

Methods 4: Change resolution to resize video in MP4

Besides resizing MP4 with the methods above, you can also lower the video resolution. Generally, the more pixels a video has, the sharper the image and the larger the file size will be. So you can change the resolution to resize MP4 but the video quality may be damaged.

Step 1. Import the target files and choose MP4 as output format.

Step 2. Click “Parameters Settings” button and go to the “Video” section on the Settings window. Open the drop-down list next to Resolution and you can see all the ready-made options from 240px160p to 3840px2160p. Choose the desired one and then click “OK”.

Step 3. Specify an output folder and Run.

Or, on the file conversion interface, you can simply drag the slider of Quick Setting to lower video resolution to resize your MP4 file.

Method 5. Reduce bit rate to make MP4 smaller

Video bitrate is one of the most crucial factors affecting video size. So it’s an effective way to resize MP4 files by adjusting bit rate.

Step 1. Drag MP4 videos into HD Video Converter Factory Pro and select MP4 as output format.

Step 2. Go to the “Settings” window and adjust bit rate of the MP4 video. After that, click “Save”.

Step 3. Hit “Run” for the process.

Step 1. Select and import the target videos. After that, choose MP4 as output format.

Step 2. Open the “Settings” window and go to Video section. Choose the desired frame rate from the options. You can also customize frame rate if you want.
