When we talk about compressing videos of any format (MP4, 3gpeg), there are many tools online and offline which does that but when most of them do this; the video loses its quality which makes the video at times unusable cause it was compressed.

For this cause, we’ve decided on a free tool that you can use to compress your videos 100% and still retain the quality of the video; works fine without a data connection.

Recall that, months back we discussed it on our Youtube Page which most of us have missed, and if that’s the case with you; you can come back to watch the video if you find the article confusing which I know wouldn’t be.

The tool to be used for this video compression is called “Handbrake” and it works only for PC high hopes to unveil the tool that works for mobile users soon; however, your PC needs to have .Net Framework installed before it can run, let’s quickly see the required tools to install before running Handbrake on your computer.
