VIDEO COMPRESSOR

Compress video to 10MB

Your 10MB target is ready. Choose a video to get started, or adjust the settings to suit your file.

Checking compression access...

Choose a starting point

Choose how much room to leave

Start from the destination’s requirement, then check the parts of your video that matter most. A size target alone cannot predict picture quality.

Your destination accepts 10 MB

Use the 10 MB target as your starting point. Preview small text, faces and motion in the result before uploading it to your destination.

You want a little headroom

Try 9.5 MB when you want to stay below a 10 MB cap. It leaves less room for detail, and it does not cover unrelated platform rules or guarantee acceptance.

A long or detailed video

If readability matters more than keeping the whole clip, trim it in a video editor first. Otherwise, increase the size only when your destination allows it. Changing resolution does not shorten the video.

These buttons change only the size target and select target-size mode. Your file and resolution setting stay in place; uploading starts only when you choose Start Compression.

Planning example

The same 10 MB has to cover every second

Longer videos have a smaller average data budget per second. Motion, fine text and texture also affect how much detail can survive compression.

Video length	Approximate total bitrate budget
30 seconds	2.67 Mbps
60 seconds	1.33 Mbps
120 seconds	0.67 Mbps
300 seconds	0.27 Mbps

Calculated as 10,000,000 bytes × 8 ÷ duration. The budget covers video, audio and container overhead, so the available video bitrate is lower. These are estimates, not measured output or quality predictions.

When the result needs another try

The downloaded file is over the limit

Check the downloaded file, not the original, and confirm that target-size mode was used. Try 9.5 MB for headroom and verify the new result before uploading.

It fits, but important detail is lost

Use the original file for another attempt. Try a shorter clip first; for phone viewing, a lower resolution may be worth comparing, while screen recordings need careful text checks.

The file is already below 10 MB

You may be able to use the original without another compression pass. Check whether your destination accepts its format; file size and format compatibility are separate requirements.

Common questions

No. This is a file-size goal you select. Check the destination's own limit before sharing.
