Compress Video for Email
Fit a video under your email’s attachment limit and send it in one message. Compression happens in your browser, so the file stays with you.
Email Attachment Limits (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo)
Each service caps attachments differently. Compress to the lowest limit if you’re not sure what the other person uses.
| Service | Attachment limit | What to set |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail | 25 MB | Email preset |
| Outlook | 20 MB | Type 20 |
| Yahoo Mail | 25 MB | Email preset |

Attachment vs Cloud Link
An attachment is simplest when it fits. Here’s when each makes sense.
Under the limit, the video arrives inside the email and plays without signing in anywhere.
For long videos that can’t get under the limit at a good quality, a shared link may suit better.
A compressed file is quicker for the other person to download, attached or linked.
FAQ
Gmail allows 25MB attachments and Outlook 20MB. Other services vary, so check yours if you’re unsure.
Compress it to under the limit with the Email preset, then attach the smaller file.
Gmail switches to a link when an attachment is over 25MB. Compressing to under 25MB keeps it as a normal attachment.
No. The compressed video plays in standard players on computers and phones.
Aim a little under your provider’s attachment limit, and lower if you’re adding other files. The Email preset uses 25MB. If you’re not sure what the other person’s service accepts, a smaller target is the safer choice.
