How do I compress a video to 10 MB?

Drop the video onto the compressor above. 10 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 10 MB?

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

Which format should I use for a 10 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 10 MB?

10 MB fits about a minute at 720p-ish quality; longer clips trade resolution for length. A 3-minute clip at 10 MB gets about 444 kbps for video and audio together (360p, fine on a phone). Each file keeps its own format.

What if my video won't fit in 10 MB?

Trim to the part that matters: length is the biggest lever. At 10 MB, a 1-minute clip gets about 1.3 Mbps (720p); trimmed to 30 seconds it gets 2.7 Mbps (1080p or 720p). 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 10 MB for far longer than camera footage.

Will the file be exactly 10 MB?

It aims to land at or just under 10 MB. 10 MB here means 10,000,000 bytes, so it also fits sites that count 1 MB as 1,048,576 bytes.

What is 10 MB typically needed for?

Common reasons: help desks and upload forms that cap attachments at 10 MB; sending clips in messaging apps without a link; short product demos. Limits vary by site, so check the exact number where you're uploading.

Are my videos uploaded?

Every video format here is compressed in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

What fits in 10 MB

Any video at 10 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
15 s	5.3 Mbps	1080p, high quality
30 s	2.7 Mbps	1080p or 720p
1 min	1.3 Mbps	720p
2 min	667 kbps	480p
5 min	267 kbps	240p, low quality

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

Video won't fit in 10 MB?

Trim to the part that matters
Length is the biggest lever. At 10 MB, a 1-minute clip gets about 1.3 Mbps (720p); trimmed to 30 seconds it gets 2.7 Mbps (1080p or 720p).
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 10 MB for far longer than camera footage.
Destination wants MP4?
iPhone and Mac recordings are MOV, and compressing keeps them MOV. If the app or form expects MP4, convert first; it plays everywhere.
