In your daily life, you may sometimes come across the situation when you upload a video to YouTube, but eventually find out that the video’s quality is too low. Or when you want to add a video attachment to an email, but unfortunately realize that its size is not suitable to be added. In fact, a video’s size is not set in stone. You can easily resize it with certain software to achieve a higher video quality or to limit the video size. Many video editing tools and video converters have this kind of resizing feature, but some of them hide this feature deeply in the interface, which is usually not available to be accessed in the surface for you to use. The post will introduce different tools to you, in order to help you resize a video in a way which is the most suitable to your needs.
