Shrink any video to 100 MB or less to shrink long recordings under 100 MB. MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV and more.

Accepted formats: MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI. API: `POST /api/v1/jobs` with `"operation": "compress", "target_size": "100mb"` (paid plans).

## How to compress a video to 100 MB

1. **Add your videos.** Drop MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV files onto the compressor above, paste them, or click to browse. Mixed formats are fine.
2. **100 MB is preset.** Every file is compressed to land at or just under 100 MB. You can switch to another size, or a percentage to reduce by.
3. **Compress.** Click Compress. Each video keeps its format and is processed right in your browser.
4. **Check and download.** Check the new sizes, then download each file or all of them as a ZIP.

## Good to know

- 100 MB is roomy for anything up to ten minutes or so; hour-long recordings will need a lower resolution.
- A 3-minute clip at 100 MB gets about 4.4 Mbps for video and audio together (1080p, high quality). Each file keeps its own format.
- 100 MB here means 100,000,000 bytes, a little under the 104,857,600 bytes some sites mean, so the result fits either way.
- Every video format here is compressed in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

## What fits in 100 MB

Any video at 100 MB has the same bit budget, whatever the format: the longer the clip, the lower the bitrate and resolution it can keep.

| Clip length | Video + audio bitrate | Realistic quality |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 min | 13.3 Mbps | 1080p, close to the original |
| 3 min | 4.4 Mbps | 1080p, high quality |
| 5 min | 2.7 Mbps | 1080p or 720p |
| 10 min | 1.3 Mbps | 720p |
| 30 min | 444 kbps | 360p, fine on a phone |

_Rough guide for H.264-class video. Static scenes and screen recordings look better than fast action at the same bitrate._

## What 100 MB is typically for

- Long screen recordings, lectures and webinars
- Forms and file-sharing tools with a 100 MB cap
- Archiving phone videos without filling your storage

Limits vary by site and change over time; check the exact number where you're uploading.

## Video won't fit in 100 MB?

- **Trim to the part that matters.** Length is the biggest lever. At 100 MB, a 1-minute clip gets about 13.3 Mbps (1080p, close to the original); trimmed to 30 seconds it gets 26.7 Mbps (1080p, close to the original).
- **720p is plenty on a phone.** 720p has less than half the pixels of 1080p, so the same bitrate looks much cleaner. Most people watch shared clips on a phone anyway.
- **Screen recordings fit more.** Slides, code and app UI barely change between frames, so a screen recording stays sharp at 100 MB for far longer than camera footage.
- **Emailing it? Aim a little lower.** Attachments grow by about a third when they're encoded for email, so a file right at an email limit can still bounce.

### How do I compress a video to 100 MB?

Drop the video onto the compressor above. 100 MB is already set as the target (you can switch to another size or a percentage), so click Compress and download the result.

### Which video formats can I compress to 100 MB?

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM and AVI. Each file keeps its own format.

### Which format should I use for a 100 MB video?

MP4 is the safest choice: it plays on every phone, browser and chat app. WebM is as efficient but less widely accepted. Compressing keeps each file's format, so convert first if the destination needs MP4.

### How much quality will I lose at 100 MB?

100 MB is roomy for anything up to ten minutes or so; hour-long recordings will need a lower resolution. A 3-minute clip at 100 MB gets about 4.4 Mbps for video and audio together (1080p, high quality). Each file keeps its own format.

### What if my video won't fit in 100 MB?

Trim to the part that matters: length is the biggest lever. At 100 MB, a 1-minute clip gets about 13.3 Mbps (1080p, close to the original); trimmed to 30 seconds it gets 26.7 Mbps (1080p, close to the original). 720p is plenty on a phone: 720p has less than half the pixels of 1080p, so the same bitrate looks much cleaner.

### Will the file be exactly 100 MB?

It aims to land at or just under 100 MB. 100 MB here means 100,000,000 bytes, so it also fits sites that count 1 MB as 1,048,576 bytes.

### What is 100 MB typically needed for?

Common reasons: long screen recordings, lectures and webinars; forms and file-sharing tools with a 100 MB cap; archiving phone videos without filling your storage. Limits vary by site, so check the exact number where you're uploading.
