Why Video Optimization Matters

With today's devices capturing stunning 4K and even 8K video, file sizes have grown exponentially. A single minute of 4K video can easily consume 350MB or more of storage space. For content creators, families, and professionals who capture lots of video, this quickly becomes a storage nightmare.

That's where intelligent video optimization comes in. By understanding how to properly downsize videos while maintaining visual quality, you can:

• Save significant storage space - Often 50-80% reduction in file size
• Reduce iCloud costs - Move to lower storage tiers and save monthly
• Improve device performance - Less storage pressure means better performance
• Maintain video quality - Smart compression preserves what matters most

Our Commitment to Privacy

Just like the Bonsai app itself, our blog content and recommendations always prioritize your privacy. We'll never suggest solutions that compromise your data security or require uploading your personal videos to external services.
