Compress video for email
Free, no watermark, no signup, and your file never leaves your device.
Fits Gmail/Outlook (accounts for attachment overhead)
Gmail and Outlook both cap attachments at 25 MB, and it's actually less than that in practice, because email encoding inflates attachments by about a third. A video that just fits at 25 MB can still bounce. This preset targets a size with margin built in.
Everything runs locally in your browser. For work videos this is often a requirement, not a nicety: the file never touches a third-party server, so there's no data-handling question to answer.
If your video can't reasonably fit, a ten-minute recording, say, the honest answer is a link rather than an attachment, and the FAQ covers when to choose which.
Questions people ask
- Why did my 24 MB attachment bounce?
- Email encodes attachments in Base64, which adds roughly 33% overhead. A 24 MB file becomes ~32 MB on the wire and exceeds the server limit. Target 18-19 MB to be safe, this preset accounts for that.
- When should I use a link instead of an attachment?
- Past a few minutes of footage, compression to email size costs real quality. For long videos, a Drive/Dropbox link preserves quality and avoids clogging inboxes. Attachments win for short clips the receiver should keep.
- Is the compressed video still playable everywhere?
- Output is standard MP4 (H.264 + AAC) with the streaming flag set, it plays in Outlook previews, QuickTime, Windows, and phones without extra software.
