What Is Video FPS Changer?

The Video FPS Changer adjusts the frame rate of your video to your desired setting. Convert between cinematic 24fps, standard 30fps, smooth 60fps, or any custom frame rate. Lowering FPS reduces file size and can create a cinematic feel, while increasing FPS makes motion appear smoother. The tool re-samples the video frames at the target rate using Canvas and MediaRecorder API. All processing happens locally in your browser — no files leave your device. Perfect for matching frame rates between clips, optimizing for specific platforms, or achieving a particular visual style.

Why Use Video FPS Changer?

  • Convert between any standard or custom frame rates
  • Reduce file size by lowering FPS
  • Create cinematic (24fps) or smooth (60fps) looks
  • No uploads — private processing on your device

Common Use Cases

Cinematic Look

Convert 30/60fps video to 24fps for a cinematic film-like appearance.

Smooth Motion

Increase frame rate for smoother-appearing video playback.

Platform Optimization

Match specific platform frame rate requirements.

File Size Reduction

Lower frame rate to reduce video file size for sharing.

Technical Guide

The FPS Changer uses a timed Canvas capture loop to re-sample the video at the target frame rate. The video plays normally while a setInterval or requestAnimationFrame loop captures frames at the new rate. When reducing FPS (e.g., 60 to 24fps), frames are skipped by sampling less frequently. When increasing FPS, the same frame is captured multiple times (frame duplication) since the browser cannot create new intermediate frames. MediaRecorder captures the canvas stream at the target frame rate. The tool configures the canvas capture framerate via captureStream(fps) for accurate timing. Audio is captured independently and remains at its original quality and speed.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Lowering FPS to 24fps gives a cinematic film look
  • 2
    Increasing FPS beyond the source rate won't add real smoothness (frames are duplicated)
  • 3
    Standard web video is 30fps — a good default for most uses
  • 4
    Lower FPS = smaller file size

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Does increasing FPS make video smoother?
No. Increasing FPS beyond the source rate duplicates frames. True smoothness requires original high-FPS footage.
Q What FPS should I use?
24fps for cinematic, 30fps for standard, 60fps for smooth motion. Most web video uses 30fps.
Q Is the video FPS changer private?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser — no files are uploaded.
Q Does changing video FPS affect audio?
No, audio playback speed and quality remain unchanged regardless of FPS changes.
Q Will lowering FPS reduce file size?
Yes, fewer frames per second means less data, resulting in smaller files.
