Compress a video to send by text
Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded. Drop the file, press the button.
“Cannot send video — file too large” means the clip is over your messaging app's ceiling. 16 MB clears the classic WhatsApp limit and keeps MMS and RCS delivery realistic, so that's what the Text message preset targets. Compression happens on your device; nothing is uploaded.

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 won't my phone send this video?
Every path has a cap: carrier MMS is often just 1–3.5 MB, WhatsApp long enforced 16 MB, and iMessage gets unreliable with very large files. Compressing to 16 MB or less makes delivery boring and dependable.
Will it still be watchable on a phone screen?
Yes — phones are the friendliest screen for compressed video. A 720p clip at this size looks close to the original on a 6-inch display.
