or click to choose files. Drop several to process them all with the same settings.
Ten megabytes is about a minute of 720p video at good quality, or three to four minutes at 480p. The tool computes the bitrate that fits your clip’s length and steps the resolution down only as far as needed.
If your clip is long, trim it first. Cutting a two-minute video to the thirty seconds that matter keeps it sharp at 10 MB.
How to compress a video to 10 MB
- Drop the video. MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV, read straight from your device. Nothing is uploaded.
- Keep the 10 MB target. The target size is preset to 10 MB. Change it if your plan allows more.
- Compress and download. The tool re-encodes on your hardware, checks the final size and refines it if needed.

Questions people ask
How long a video fits in 10 MB?
Roughly one minute at 720p, two minutes at 540p or four minutes at 480p with clear audio. Talking-head footage compresses better than fast action.
What if the result is 10.2 MB?
Set a custom target of 9.5 MB. Encoders aim for an average bitrate and can overshoot slightly on complex footage.
Can I compress to 8 MB or 5 MB instead?
Yes. Choose Custom and type any size. The 8 MB page has a preset for the old Discord limit.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in Chrome, Safari and Firefox on current phones. Very long or 4K files may exceed phone memory; a laptop handles those.
