Compress a video for WhatsApp
Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded. Drop the file, press the button.
WhatsApp caps video sharing around 16 MB, which a phone clip blows past in under a minute. The size below is set to 16 MB so your video sends as a video — not a frozen “file too large” — and it's all compressed on your own phone or computer.

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
What is WhatsApp's video size limit?
About 16 MB for regular photos and videos (documents can be much larger). Compressing to 16 MB or below keeps sends and status posts reliable.
Will WhatsApp compress it again anyway?
WhatsApp re-compresses videos it considers too large, which is exactly what smears quality. Sending an already-small 16 MB file means WhatsApp leaves it largely alone.
