Compress a video to 8 MB

Under 8 MB, the first time, for anywhere that still stops at 8. Nothing leaves your phone.

Nothing uploaded. Try it in airplane mode.

How to get a video under 8 MB

  1. Tap Pick a video.
  2. Keep 8 MB picked. The page tells you how sharp it will be.
  3. Tap Compress. It aims just under 8 MB and checks the result, so it fits the first time.

What fits in 8 MB

8 MB is tight, so the picture size steps down as the clip gets longer:

  • About 10 seconds stays 1080p.
  • 20 seconds comes out 720p.
  • 30 seconds comes out 540p, and 45 seconds 480p.
  • From a minute on, it gets soft. Cut the clip to the part that matters: a short sharp clip beats a long blurry one.

Turning the sound off in More options gives the picture a little more room.

Sending to Discord?

Discord’s free limit was 8 MB for years, then 10 MB, and since August 2026 it’s 20 MB. If your clip is going to Discord, make it 20 MB for a much sharper picture. 8 MB is still the size for forums, school and work portals, and anywhere else with an older limit.

Private by design

Your video is made smaller on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, so there’s no queue, no length cap and no watermark, and it works in airplane mode after your first visit.
