Compress a video for Gmail
Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded. Drop the file, press the button.
Gmail attachments over 25 MB get pushed to a Google Drive link instead of sending inline. If you'd rather attach the file directly, the 25 MB target below shrinks it to fit — and because Gmail base64-encodes attachments, aiming a touch under 25 MB is the safe move.

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
Why does Gmail say my 25 MB video is too big?
Attachments are base64-encoded, which adds roughly a third to the transmitted size — so a 25 MB file can travel as ~33 MB. Target around 20 MB for headroom.
Can I just use the Google Drive link Gmail offers?
You can, but a direct attachment is simpler for the recipient and doesn't depend on Drive sharing settings. Compressing to fit keeps it a normal attachment.
