    Frequently asked questions

    How do I compress a video to 16 MB?

    Drop the video into the box above. The target size is already set to 16 MB — the bitrate and, if needed, the resolution are chosen so the file fits, and you download the result.

    Why 16 MB?

    16 MB is WhatsApp and many forms. The file is made slightly smaller than 16 MB to be safe.

    How long can the video be?

    About 2 minute(s) still look sharp at 16 MB in 720p (about 1.3 Mbps). Longer videos are reduced to 720p or 480p; if it is far too long, you will be asked to choose a larger size or trim it.

    Are my videos uploaded?

    No. Compression happens in your browser, so your videos never leave your device.

    Which browsers work best?

    Recent Chrome, Edge and Safari, which can create MP4 (H.264). Firefox works for most videos too.
