Video Compression Services, Done for You
Omeiro uses Handbrake and FFmpeg to bring 4K or 1080p video down to files under 10MB in H.264, H.265 or AV1, without visible loss in the hero area that matters.

How our video compression works
Assess the master
We check resolution, frame rate and where the video will appear.
Choose the codec
H.264, H.265 or AV1 is selected for browser support and size.
Encode and test
Files are exported and checked for quality and playback.
Package for the site
Poster frames, HLS sets or embed code are added where included.
Video compression choices that affect page speed
The right video compression settings depend on where the video plays. A silent looping hero needs a very small file and no audio track, while a product demo needs sound and sharper detail. Tell us the display size on your page, since a clip shown at half-screen width does not need 4K pixels. Cutting duration and frame rate before encoding often saves more size than aggressive quality loss.
Plan for browser support as well as size. Newer codecs shrink files but may fall back on older devices, which is why a safe default sits alongside them. Share your platform, such as WordPress, Shopify or a custom build, so we can suggest formats it handles well. Sound video compression also includes a poster image, so visitors see a frame immediately while the file buffers instead of an empty box.

Video Compression: common questions
How much does video compression cost?
Prices are fixed and shown by package on our Video Compression pricing page, so you see the full price before you order. You can also ask for a custom quote.
How long does web video optimization take?
Delivery depends on the package: Basic 1-day delivery; Standard 2-day delivery; Premium 3-day delivery.
What is included in the Basic Package?
The Basic Package includes: 1 video, H.264; WebM under 10MB. Higher packages add more scope, revisions and support.
Can I get a custom multi bitrate video encoding package?
Yes. If none of the packages fits, use the custom package form on our pricing page to describe what you need, and our team sends you a fixed price.
Will compression lower quality?
Some detail is lost at small sizes, but our settings aim to keep it unnoticeable at web viewing distance.
Which format should I use?
H.264 plays almost everywhere, while H.265 and AV1 give smaller files on newer browsers.
What is an HLS set?
It is a group of versions at different bitrates that a player switches between depending on connection speed.
Do you upload files to my site?
We deliver files, and your developer or host places them.
Does a smaller video file always improve page speed?
It usually helps, but loading strategy matters too. Lazy loading, a poster image and not autoplaying large files on mobile all contribute to a faster page.
Who owns the final work?
Copyright of the final work passes to you once the order is paid in full. Paid fonts, stock files or licences, if used, are licensed in your name.
