When you save a video, you can pick how clear it looks. But which one should you choose? Let's find out!
What is Video Quality?
Video quality means how clear and sharp a video looks. Higher quality = clearer picture. But higher quality also means bigger files that take up more space.
The Different Quality Choices
360p (Not Very Clear)
- Good for: When you don't have much space
- File size: Very small
- Best for: When you just want to hear the sound
480p (Okay Quality)
- Good for: Older phones or tablets
- File size: Small
- Best for: When you need to save space
720p HD (Good Quality)
- Good for: Phones, tablets, and laptops
- File size: Medium
- Best for: Most people! Looks good without big files
1080p Full HD (Really Good Quality)
- Good for: Computers and TVs
- File size: Big
- Best for: When you want things to look really nice
4K / Max (Super Clear!)
- Good for: Big TVs and keeping videos forever
- File size: Very big
- Best for: When you want the best of the best
What Should You Pick?
| What You're Doing | Pick This | |-----------|-------------------| | Watching on your phone | 720p | | Watching on a computer | 1080p | | Not much space left | 480p | | Keeping videos forever | Max/4K | | Just want the music | Audio only |
