Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tool completely free?
Yes! File Gulp provides completely free file conversion tools with no hidden fees, no watermarks, and no registration required.
Are my files safe?
Absolutely. Unlike other converters, File Gulp uses modern WebAssembly technology to convert files directly on your device. Your files never leave your computer, ensuring maximum privacy.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes, our tool is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets, directly from your mobile browser.
Will the quality be affected?
No, we use high-quality algorithms to ensure your output files maintain the best possible quality during conversion.
Is there a file size limit?
Very large files may be limited by your device memory/browser performance. For normal image sizes, conversion is fast and seamless.
Why are Videos so Large?
High-quality videos contain huge amounts of data (bitrate, resolution, frame rate). This makes them slow to upload and difficult to share, often exceeding email and messaging app limits.
Smart In-Browser Compression
Our tool leverages the power of FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, allowing it to re-encode your video file directly in the browser. This reduces the file size significantly while maintaining a good quality-to-size ratio.
Understanding Compression Levels
Our tool uses H.264 encoding with a Constant Rate Factor (CRF) to manage the trade-off between quality and file size.
- Light (CRF 20): Minimal compression, highest quality. Ideal for archiving.
- Balanced (CRF 23): The perfect mix of size and quality for web and social media.
- Strong (CRF 28): Noticeable size reduction, great for email attachments.
- Extreme (CRF 32): Maximum compression for the smallest possible file size.
