Compress Video to 16MB
16MB is WhatsApp's video message limit, the single most common compression target worldwide. A typical 1-minute phone video recorded at 1080p is 100 to 200MB, far exceeding WhatsApp's limit. CompressYourVideo.com is specifically optimized for this target: it compresses your video to 15.2MB (a safe margin below 16MB) at the highest possible quality for your video's length. Short clips under 2 minutes compress at 720p with barely noticeable quality loss. Longer videos require lower bitrates, so trimming to the key moment helps. The output is MP4 H.264, which WhatsApp plays as an inline video message rather than a downloadable document. If you send a video over 16MB on WhatsApp, it either gets rejected or sent as a document that recipients must manually download and open.
