How to Compress Files and Reduce File Size

Compressing files is one of the easiest ways to make uploads faster and reduce file size for email, cloud storage, and file sharing.

Large videos, PDFs, ZIP folders, photos, project files, and presentations can quickly become too large for Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, WhatsApp, Discord, or other platforms.

What file compression does

FileHub automatically bundles uploads into ZIP files during transfer, making it easier to share multiple files, folders, documents, photos, and project assets through one download link.

Common ways to compress files

Most computers allow you to create ZIP folders directly from the file explorer. You can also use video compression tools, PDF compressors, and image optimization tools to shrink large files.
