Step-by-step guide: How to make a video file smaller to send

Step by step, and if something goes wrong

Steps

  1. Drop a video.
  2. Pick quality and resolution, or keep the defaults.
  3. Select Compress video, then download.

If something goes wrong

  • Lowering the resolution to 1080p or 720p saves the most space.
  • Everything runs in your browser using its built-in video and audio engine, so very long or 4K videos take a while on slower devices. Keep the tab open until it finishes.
  • If you see “Not supported by your browser”, try the latest Chrome or Edge. Safari and Firefox support fewer formats.
  • Videos up to 5 GB and 4 hours are accepted. Larger files are read from disk in pieces, so they don’t need to fit in memory.
