Compress a video to email it (under 10 MB)

Most email providers cap attachments around 25 MB, and many teams keep it well under that. If your clip is too big to send, you don’t need to fiddle with bitrates or codecs — you just need to hit a target file size. That’s exactly what Squeeze does.

1. Add your video

Open Squeeze and drop in your file (up to 10 files at once, 75 MB each on input). You can also paste a direct video URL instead of uploading.

2. Set a target size

Enter the size you need to land under. Common limits:

• 10 MB — a safe ceiling for most email providers.
• 25 MB — Gmail and Outlook attachment cap; also the default for many chat apps.

Squeeze encodes the video to fit under the number you give it, choosing the highest quality that stays within budget.

3. Pick a format

• MP4 — plays everywhere; the safest choice for an email attachment.
• WebM — smaller than MP4 at similar quality, if the recipient’s player supports it.
• WebP / GIF — for short, silent loops rather than full clips.

The quality estimator shows you roughly how the result will look for your chosen size, duration, and format before you spend anything.

4. Download and send

Hit Squeeze and download the result. It will be under your target, ready to attach.

Getting the size down further

If the file is still larger than you’d like at acceptable quality:

• Trim it. A shorter clip needs far less data — set a start time and duration to keep only the part you need.
• Lower the target. Quality drops gradually, so a 10 MB clip still looks fine for most everyday footage.
• Drop the resolution implicitly by targeting a smaller size — Squeeze scales the trade-off for you.

You only pay when you render, and compressing to WebP costs less than the other formats.
