Features
Sized for the 16 MB wall
The target is set so the file goes through on the first attempt, without the 'file is too large' message.
Better after WhatsApp's own pass
WhatsApp re-encodes everything. Handing it a well-prepared file instead of an oversized one means less damage in its second pass.
Built for phones
Large touch targets, a timeline you can actually drag with a thumb, and a sticky action button. Works in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android without an app.
Private by default
No sign-up, no tracking of what you process, and automatic deletion. Your links are never sent to analytics and your files are never made public.
How it works technically
We target a little under WhatsApp's limit and cap the resolution at a phone-friendly size, because WhatsApp will scale it down anyway. Audio is kept at a reasonable bitrate — voice that turns to mush is far more noticeable than slightly softer video.
Frequently asked questions
What is WhatsApp's actual video size limit?
It is around 16 MB for a video message on most versions, which works out to roughly three minutes of ordinary phone footage. Documents can be larger — sending your video as a document preserves quality, though the recipient has to open it manually.
What happens to my file after processing?
It is deleted automatically. Your result is stored in a temporary folder for a short window so you can download it, then removed permanently along with any intermediate files. We do not publish, index, share or keep your media, and we never use it to train AI models.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Everything runs in your browser and on our servers, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone. There is no app to install and no account to create.
Can I process any video I find online?
Only content you own or are otherwise permitted to process. The service works with publicly accessible links and does not bypass DRM, paywalls, sign-in or any other access control. You are responsible for having the rights to the material you submit.
