Compress Video to 8MB
8MB is a strict limit found on older forum software, some game servers, and email systems with small attachment caps. Most phone videos far exceed this size because modern cameras record at high bitrates, often producing 50MB or more for a single minute of footage. CompressYourVideo.com handles 8MB targets by calculating the tightest possible bitrate for your video's specific length, then scaling resolution down (typically to 480p) to preserve clarity at that bitrate. A 30-second clip compresses to 8MB with good quality at 720p. For videos over a minute, expect 480p output with visible softening on large screens, though it looks fine on phone screens. Tip: trim your video to just the key moment before compressing for the best result at this small target.
