Compress Video for LinkedIn
Shrink LinkedIn video uploads to a professional 1080p H.264 MP4 that posts without network failures.
LinkedIn accepts H.264 MP4 up to 5 GB, but most office and mobile connections struggle with huge raw files. This preset produces a polished 1080p master — small enough to upload reliably, sharp enough for a professional audience.
