Compress a video for email

This page is set up to compress video for email: 25 MB, the size Gmail takes, so the clip goes out as a plain attachment and plays straight from the message. Your video stays on your device: we never receive or store it.

MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and more · any video this device can play

Your privacy comes first

Your contracts, passport scans and family videos stay yours. No one but you gets to see them.

  • We never store your files

    They don’t even reach us: your phone or computer does the work. Nothing to delete later.

  • 100% free

    No daily limits, no file-size cap, no paid Pro plan.

  • No sign-up

    No account to create, no email to give. No account, nothing to hack.

How it works

  1. Choose the videoPick the file from your computer or phone. The Email card, 25 MB, is already selected.
  2. Check size and pictureSee how much smaller it gets and how sharp it will look.
  3. Attach itSave the video, then add it with the paper-clip button in your mail app.

How to email a large video without a cloud link

Mail services cap the size of attachments, and a phone video is almost always over it. Above the limit, the mail app refuses the file or swaps it for a cloud link the person has to open. At 25 MB it stays a plain attachment.

Email attachment limits

As of 2026, Gmail takes up to 25 MB per email and offers a Google Drive link for anything bigger. Outlook.com usually stops at 20 MB and suggests OneDrive instead. Work mailboxes set their own limit, often 20 to 25 MB, sometimes less. The receiver’s mailbox counts too, and the smaller limit wins.

Why a 25 MB file can still bounce

Attachments grow by about a third when they are encoded for sending, and some services count that size. If a 25 MB video is refused, choose Your size and type 18 or 20 MB. The picture barely changes.

What fits into 25 MB

When you compress video for email, length decides the picture more than anything. Motion matters too: a still screen recording stays sharp far longer than a handheld walk.

  • Up to a minute: full 1080p.
  • Two minutes: 720p, still sharp.
  • Five minutes: 360p, fine for a talk, soft for small text.
  • About a quarter of an hour: the most that fits with sound. Past that, the page says so and offers to trim.

Videos people send by email

  • A video CV or a self-tape for a casting.
  • A clip of a fault for a repair shop, an insurer or a seller.
  • Homework or a recorded speech for a teacher.
  • A family clip for a relative who never opens a messenger.

Before you hit Send

  • Trim the start and end. Recordings often have silent seconds on both sides.
  • Send one video per email rather than several near the limit.
  • For slides or text, a smaller frame stays sharper than a lower bitrate.
  • Writing to people on different mail services? Aim for 20 MB.
