Compress Video for WhatsApp

Shrink a video so it sends fast and survives WhatsApp's own compression. Free, private, in your browser.

Need batch processing or bigger files? Download Compresso for folders, big videos, and offline compression.

WhatsApp gives up on big videos in two ways: it refuses files over its media limit (100MB, or 64MB on slower connections), or it accepts them and crushes the quality itself. Either way, the person on the other end gets a worse version of what you shot.

Compressing before you send fixes both problems. A video sized for WhatsApp sends fast even on patchy connections, and because it is already compact, WhatsApp's own compression has less work to do. More of your original quality survives the trip.

Everything happens on your device. Family videos and work clips never touch a server, which matters for the stuff you would not hand to a stranger. Sending lots of videos regularly? The Compresso app for Mac and Windows compresses whole folders offline.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WhatsApp's video size limit?+

WhatsApp's official help pages list 100MB for videos sent as media on fast connections and 64MB on slow ones. Files sent as documents can be up to 2GB, but they arrive as downloads, not playable videos.

Why does WhatsApp ruin my video quality?+

Every video sent as media gets re-compressed by WhatsApp to save bandwidth. Starting from a smaller, well-encoded file means its second compression pass does far less damage.

How small should my video be for WhatsApp?+

For a typical clip, 32MB or less sends quickly and survives re-compression well. The WhatsApp preset on this page targets exactly that.

Does this work for WhatsApp Status and groups?+

Yes. The output is a standard MP4 that works in chats, groups, and Status updates.
