How to compress a video for Email

  1. Select the video. Click Select video or drop an MP4, MOV, WEBM or MKV file.
  2. Keep "under 25 MB". The size is already set for Email. Choose Custom size for another limit.
  3. Compress and send. Download the MP4 and attach it to your email.

Fitting a video under 25 MB

The compressor divides 25 MB by the length of the video to find the bitrate, then picks the resolution that looks best at that bitrate. A one-minute clip fits under 25 MB in 1080p; a ten-minute video needs a lower resolution. Cut long recordings to the best part first with the video trimmer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Email file size limit?

Gmail and Yahoo allow 25 MB per email, Outlook 20 MB.

Why does my video look blurry after compressing?

25 MB is not much for a long video. Trim it to the part you need, and the compressor can keep a higher resolution.

Which formats are supported?

MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI and most others; the result is an MP4.

Are my videos kept?

No. They are deleted after 15 minutes.

How this works: your video is uploaded over HTTPS and re-encoded on this server with FFmpeg. The upload is deleted when the work is done and the result 15 minutes later.
