Is resizing videos really free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. Resize unlimited videos of any size or length, as many times as you want. No watermarks, no signup, no credit card required.
Do my videos get uploaded to a server?
Never. All resizing happens locally on your computer. Your videos never leave your device - and there are no upload waits for large files.
What resolutions can I resize to?
Use presets like 2160p (4K), 1440p, 1080p, 720p, and 480p, or enter custom width and height. FileHop keeps the aspect ratio so the video doesn't stretch.
Is resizing the same as compressing?
They're related but different. Resizing changes the pixel dimensions (resolution); compressing reduces file size, often by lowering the bitrate. Downscaling usually shrinks the file too. If hitting a specific size is your goal, try the Compress Video tool.
Will resizing keep the aspect ratio?
Yes by default, so circles stay round and nothing looks squashed. You can also set exact dimensions if you specifically need a different ratio.
What video formats are supported?
Common formats including MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, and AVI. You can keep the same format or convert while you resize.
Does it work offline?
Yes, FileHop works 100% offline after installation. No internet connection is required to resize videos.
What platforms are supported?
Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows (10, 11). Download the version for your operating system.
