How should we compress?

Whole megabytes from 1 to 65,536. Long videos need a bigger target to stay sharp.

Advanced settings

Used by Recommended mode and the WhatsApp and Telegram presets. Target sizes set the quality automatically.

How to compress a video to 15 MB

  1. Add the video

    Drag it onto the page or tap "Choose videos". It stays on your device.

  2. Confirm 15 MB

    The target is set. Adjust it if your limit is slightly different.

  3. Download

    Get an MP4 under 15 MB, ready to upload, send or attach.

A sweet spot for sharing

15 MB is large enough for good-looking short videos and small enough for nearly every upload form, chat app and email service. It's a practical choice when you don't know the exact limit on the other side.

As with every target size, the compressor calculates a bitrate from the video's length, keeps a small safety margin, and picks the highest resolution that still looks clean.

What fits in 15 MB

Typical results for a 1080p, 30 fps video with sound:

Video length Resolution chosen Looks
30 seconds 1080p Very sharp
1 minute 720p Sharp
2 minutes 480p Good
5 minutes 360p Acceptable
10 minutes 360p Soft

When to pick a different size

No upload, no account

Compression happens on your device, so your videos remain private. There's no sign-up, no watermark and no waiting for a server.

Frequently asked questions

How long can a 15 MB video be?

About one minute at sharp 720p, or two minutes at 480p. Short clips of 30 seconds or less keep full 1080p resolution.

Is 15 MB small enough for email?

Yes. Most email services accept attachments of 20–25 MB, so 15 MB leaves a comfortable margin, which is useful when you don't know which service the recipient uses. For the largest file Gmail can send, use the email preset.

Will the file be exactly 15 MB?

Slightly under. The compressor leaves a small margin so the file is never larger than the target.

Do I need to choose the resolution myself?

No. Leave resolution on "Original", and the compressor lowers it only when the clip is too long to look clean at full size. You can still pick a resolution manually in the advanced settings.
