Instagram compresses the videos you post, and when the file is too heavy it ruins the quality. By uploading an already-optimized video, you reduce the damage and keep things sharp on Reels, Stories and Feed. VideoLeve gets your video to the right size and format. Nothing to install, no sign-up.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know to compress your video with peace of mind.
Because Instagram applies its own compression on top of the file. By sending a video that's already compressed and optimized, there's less left for Instagram to ruin, and the final quality is better.
Reels and Stories work well in vertical (9:16) and resolutions up to 1080p. VideoLeve keeps the resolution and makes the file light.
Compressing it in an optimized way beforehand keeps Instagram from applying worse compression on top. The result is usually sharper than posting the heavy raw file.
