Frequently Asked Questions
- What is WhatsApp's video size limit?
- WhatsApp limits video attachments to 16 MB. Videos larger than this are automatically rejected. Use this tool to compress your video below that threshold.
- How do I compress a video under 16 MB?
- Upload your video, select the Small quality preset, and downscale to 480p or 720p if needed. For longer videos (over 3 minutes), 480p is recommended to stay under 16 MB.
- Will the video still look good on WhatsApp?
- Yes. WhatsApp compresses videos further on its own, so sending a well-compressed 720p video produces excellent results on mobile screens.
