Mixed formats are fine. 2. **10 MB is preset.** Every file is compressed to land at or just under 10 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 - 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. - 10 MB here means 10,000,000 bytes, a little under the 10,485,760 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 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._ ## What 10 MB is typically for - 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 and change over time; check the exact number where you're uploading. ## 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.
