Creator tips
- Compress before uploading to Instagram if you hit file size limits.
- Keep an uncompressed master for YouTube, compressed copy for Stories.
- Close other tabs — WASM uses significant RAM on mobile.
Unlike cloud compressors, Seloice processes on-device — your footage stays private.
Troubleshooting
FFmpeg failed to load
Refresh page, use Chrome/Safari latest, disable strict extensions blocking WASM.
Process stuck at 0%
Try a smaller clip first; very large files may timeout on low-RAM devices.
Output won't play
Re-export with a different preset or ensure source MP4 isn't corrupted.
