Videos taller than this are downscaled; smaller videos are not upscaled.
- Compression re-encodes the video (H.264 for MP4/MOV, VP9 for WEBM). Some quality loss is inherent to lossy compression.
- If the result is not smaller than the original, the report says so — the original may already be well compressed.
