Frequently Asked Questions

Does compressing video reduce quality?

dShift uses FFmpeg to re-encode your video at an optimised bitrate. Minor quality reduction is expected, but the result is visually nearly identical at up to 60–80% smaller file size.

Is my video uploaded to any server?

No. dShift processes everything directly in your browser using WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device.

What video formats are supported?

dShift supports MP4, MOV, MXF and most common video formats as input, and exports in MP4 (H.264).

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard file size limit imposed by dShift. Limits depend on your browser's available memory. For most devices, files up to 2GB work without issues.
