Compress a video to 16 MB
Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded. Drop the file, press the button.
16 MB is the size WhatsApp has long enforced for video, and a safe target for most messaging apps. Enter 16 MB and ShrinkClip re-encodes locally to fit, so “file too large” turns into a message that actually sends.

No upload queue
Compression runs on your own CPU. A 500 MB recording never crawls up your connection to someone's server — there's nothing to upload, wait on, or trust.
No command line to learn
The same H.264 encoding professionals tune by hand — with the bitrate math and resolution worked out for you. Pick a size, press the button.
Private by default
Your video is processed in browser memory and discarded when you close the tab. We never see a frame of it — only anonymous size and preset stats.
Questions people actually ask
Is 16 MB really WhatsApp's limit?
For regular video sharing, yes — WhatsApp caps media around 16 MB (documents can be larger). Compressing to 16 MB or below keeps sending reliable across chats and status.
What if it still won't send?
Some carriers and MMS paths are far stricter (1–3.5 MB). If 16 MB bounces, type a smaller number into the size box and compress again for extra headroom.
