How to compress a video to email it
- Drop the video. MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV, read straight from your device. Nothing is uploaded.
- Keep the email target. The target size is preset to 25 MB. Change it if your plan allows more.
- Compress and download. The tool re-encodes on your hardware, checks the final size and refines it if needed.

Questions people ask
What is the attachment limit?
Gmail, Outlook.com and iCloud Mail allow about 25 MB per message. Many company mail servers allow 10 MB. When in doubt, pick 10 MB.
Should I send a link instead?
For anything above 25 MB a cloud link is easier. For short clips a compressed attachment is simpler for the recipient and does not expire.
Will the recipient be able to play it?
Yes. MP4 with H.264 plays natively on Windows, macOS, iPhone and Android.
Can I compress several videos?
One at a time. Compress each, then attach them all to a single email as long as the total stays under the limit.
