Compress Video for WhatsApp
Shrink a video to 16 MB so WhatsApp sends it without trouble.
16 MB is the limit most guides give for normal WhatsApp video messages; bigger files can usually be sent as a document instead. The tool fits your video into 16 MB by choosing the right bitrate and, for long videos, a smaller resolution.
The conversion runs inside your browser with WebCodecs, the video engine built into modern browsers. That is why there is no upload, no queue and no file size limit set by us: only your device's memory limits it. Your file stays private.
Planning an export for a platform? Work out bitrate and size with the file size calculator, and check what Reels and TikTok cover with the safe zone checker.
Converter engine: Mediabunny (MPL-2.0) on WebCodecs. MP3 encoding: LAME (LGPL).

FAQ
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is processed in your browser and never sent to our server.
Is there a file size limit?
We don't set one. Very large files need enough free memory on your device; a computer handles more than a phone.
Which browsers work?
Chrome and Edge on computers and Android work best. Safari works in recent versions. If your browser lacks a codec, the tool tells you.
Is it free?
Yes. No account, no watermark, no daily limit.
