How to Compress a Video to 50MB

  1. Step 1
    Add the large video

    4K and long phone videos are fine; they just take a little longer.

  2. Step 2
    Keep 50 MB, choose quality

    The High setting is a good fit here, since 50MB leaves plenty of room.

  3. Step 3
    Download under 50MB

    See how much smaller it got, then save it.

Why MakeVideoSmaller

Your videos never leave your device

Compression runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Pick the size you need

Type a target in MB and get a file under it. No bitrate maths.

No watermark

Your video comes out clean, with no logo or branding added.

No signup

No account, no email address, nothing to install.

Free

Free to use, as many times as you like.

Three steps

Choose a file, set a size, download. That's it.

50MB vs 100MB

50MB handles most clips a few minutes long. Go bigger only if you need to.

100 MBLonger clips, archive copiesAbout 5 min at 1080p

Keeping Quality at 50MB

At this size, the settings matter less than the length of the video.

Choose High

At 50MB, most videos under a few minutes keep their full resolution.

4K usually becomes full HD

Very large 4K files are brought down to full HD, which looks the same on most screens.

Long videos

Beyond about five minutes, expect some softness. A larger target keeps more detail.
