Compress video for Instagram
Choose Reels, a feed post or a direct message before checking the requirements for that route. Compression changes encoding and size; it does not reframe or trim. Preview portrait text and spoken audio.
Set a target and compress the video
Synthetic clock, flash and beep. Downloaded only when you choose it.
100,000,000 bytes
MB = 1,000,000 bytes · MiB = 1,048,576 bytes
Check the receiving app's current limit, then set your own target. Keep an original that already fits, or convert a copy to MP4 with the available audio tracks. Smaller files can lose detail.
Quick answer
Check the current requirements for your Instagram account and sending route. The 100 MB starting value is an editable example, not a platform limit. The result uses actual bytes.
Review the copy before sending
An original already within target gets a size check and keeps its bytes, name and format without loading the encoder. Choose MP4 conversion if you need that format. Play the important part before sending.
Compression is lossy, with at most two attempts and checks of duration and audio tracks. Default compression keeps the original if encoding does not make it smaller. If still oversized, shorten the source or increase the target.
Frequently asked questions
No. 100 MB is only the starting example on this page. Check the current sending route, account and recipient restrictions, then adjust the target.
Keeping the original checks only its size; its bytes and format stay unchanged. Compression or an explicit MP4 conversion uses lossy H.264 and AAC encoding, with duration and audio track checks. Play the copy to review speech, text and picture quality.
No. There are at most two encoding attempts, and the final verdict uses actual bytes. If it is still over target, prepare a shorter source clip or allow more space. An oversized download is not a confirmed fit.
