About this tool
A phone video easily passes 100 MB, and WhatsApp, e-mail and Discord refuse it. Drop the video, pick a goal - WhatsApp (16 MB), e-mail (25 MB), Discord (10 MB) or your own size in MB - and the tool works out the bitrate for the length of your video, shows the estimated size and exports an MP4 that plays everywhere. Lowering the resolution to 720p or cutting the part you need keeps the picture sharper at small sizes. The video is processed by your browser and never leaves your device.
How to use it
- 1 Choose or drop a video.
- 2 In Compress, keep WhatsApp (16 MB) or pick e-mail, Discord, a size in MB or a quality.
- 3 If the goal is too small, cut a shorter part in Cut or lower the resolution in Size & frame.
- 4 Click Export and download the MP4.
Frequently asked questions
How do I send a big video on WhatsApp?
Compress it to 16 MB here and send it as a normal video; for longer videos, cut the part that matters or lower the resolution to 720p or 480p.
Does compressing lose quality?
Some, because the video is re-encoded at a lower bitrate. The tool never raises the bitrate above the original, and a smaller resolution looks sharper than a squeezed full HD.
Why does it say the goal is too small?
Below a minimum bitrate the picture breaks into blocks. Shorten the cut, lower the resolution or choose a bigger size.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Choose or drop up to 50 files (1 GB in total): each one is exported whole with the same settings and you download one ZIP.
Is the video uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
