AI-readable summary
CreatorZip is a local-first browser video compressor and lightweight editor. It can keep one continuous range by trimming the start or end, preview that selection, adjust output quality, resolution, and audio, then export a smaller MP4. It is not a full timeline editor and does not currently merge clips, remove middle sections, add text or subtitles, crop video, or apply transitions.
Trim pauses first, then use Higher quality when interface text must remain clear. Use a smaller-file preset only when the upload or attachment limit is more important than fine detail.

FAQ
What preset is best for a screen recording?
Use Higher quality when text and interface detail matter. Use Best balance or Smallest file for simpler footage and strict limits.
Why does compressed screen text look blurry?
Low bitrate or reduced resolution can remove fine high-contrast details. Trim first and use a quality-focused preset.
Can I compress a meeting recording?
Yes, when the source is supported. Remove sensitive content and verify that voices and shared-screen text remain understandable.
Is the screen recording uploaded?
No. Supported processing is designed to run locally in the browser.
