## Overview

Compresto allows you to set a target frame rate (FPS) for video compression. Reducing the frame rate can significantly decrease file size while maintaining acceptable visual quality for certain types of content.

## Available Options

| Option                | Description                                         |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| **Same as input**     | Keep the original frame rate (default)              |
| **60**                | High frame rate for smooth motion                    |
| **30**                | Standard frame rate for web and social media        |
| **24**                | Cinematic frame rate, smaller file size             |
| **15**                | Low frame rate for maximum compression               |

## How It Works

The target FPS setting only **reduces** frame rate - it never increases it. If your input video has a lower frame rate than the target, the original frame rate is preserved. For example:

- Input: 60 fps, Target: 30 fps → Output: 30 fps
- Input: 24 fps, Target: 30 fps → Output: 24 fps (unchanged)

## When to Use Each Option

### Same as input

Best for preserving original quality when file size isn’t a concern.

### 60 fps

- Gaming videos
- Sports footage
- High-motion content

### 30 fps

- General web content
- Social media videos
- Screen recordings

### 24 fps

- Film-like aesthetic
- Cinematic content
- Good balance of quality and file size

### 15 fps

- Simple animations
- Slideshows with minimal motion
- Maximum file size reduction

## How to Configure

1. Open Compresto  
2. Go to **Settings** > **Advanced**  
3. Select your preferred frame rate from the **Target video FPS** dropdown

Lowering frame rate reduces file size but may make motion appear less smooth. Use lower frame rates only when the content doesn’t require high motion fidelity.
