Frequently asked questions
- Does the audio pitch change too?
- Yes — speeding up or slowing down shifts the audio's pitch along with it, exactly the way changing the playback speed of a tape or vinyl record does. Real pitch-preserving time-stretching is a much more involved process this tool doesn't attempt.
- What speed range is supported?
- From 0.5× (half speed, slow motion) up to 3× (triple speed). Both video and audio scale together, so a 3-minute video at 2× becomes a 1:30 clip.
- What video formats can I use?
- Any format your browser can decode — MP4, WebM, MOV, and MKV all work in most current browsers.
- Is my video uploaded anywhere?
- No — the speed change is applied entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How GetByteRush compares
Most free tools for this online work the same way: you upload your file to their server, wait, then download the result — which means your file (and often your email, for a "free" account) sits on someone else's infrastructure. Here's the actual difference:
| Feature | GetByteRush | Typical online tools |
|---|---|---|
| Data ever leaves your device | No — processed in this tab | Yes, uploaded to process |
| Speeds change video and audio together | Yes | Varies — some tools only change one |
| Account required | Never | Often, past a certain usage level |
