Frequently asked questions
- Will resizing reduce the file size?
- Downscaling generally reduces file size since fewer pixels require less data. The exact reduction depends on the codec and quality settings. All resizing runs on your self-hosted SnapOtter server.
- Can I upscale a low-resolution video?
- You can increase the dimensions, though upscaling cannot add detail that is not in the source. The algorithm produces smooth results without blocky artifacts. Processing stays entirely on your local server.
- Does it maintain the aspect ratio?
- Yes, aspect ratio is locked by default to prevent distortion. You can unlock it for custom ratios if needed. All processing happens on your self-hosted instance with no external uploads.
