Compress Video for Email
Most mail providers cap a message around 25 MB, and when a video rides along it is the attachment that spends the entire budget. This page brings a clip down toward attachable weight in the browser — with the honest byte figure on the result, so you know whether the send will actually clear the server before the draft is written.

Frequently Asked Questions About Video Compression
How big a video can I email?
Under about 25 MB covers Gmail and most major providers. Smaller is still better: every forward carries the whole attachment again.
Is a link better than attaching?
For anything much over the cap, yes — a short preview frame in the mail with a link to the full clip is the usual shape of that send.
Will my original file be changed?
The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the Mailable video.
What should I check before using the result?
Open the Mailable video in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.
What video settings reduce email size most?
Lowering resolution and video bitrate usually has the biggest effect. Use a short test export first so you can balance file size and readable detail.
Will compression remove the original video?
No. Downloaded output is created as a separate file. Keep the original master file for future edits or higher-quality sharing.
Compress Video for Email
Make a video smaller for email attachments and upload forms by adjusting browser-based video compression settings.
How to Use
- Choose a video file or drag it into the upload area.
- Select a practical resolution, quality level, bitrate, and output format.
- Start compression and wait for the browser video engine to finish.
- Preview or inspect the result, compare the file size, and download it.
Best Use Cases
- Short clips that are too large for an email attachment.
- Project handoffs where a smaller preview is more useful than the master file.
- Upload forms with a documented file-size or resolution limit.
Output Format
The output format depends on the selected format and the browser encoder available to the tool. MP4 is generally the practical choice for compatibility; always check the destination requirements.
Privacy
