Compress video to 8MB
An 8 MB budget is tight. Start with a short source containing only the steps the recipient needs, and check that saving space has not made the text or speech unusable.
Set a target and compress the video
Synthetic clock, flash and beep. Downloaded only when you choose it.
8,000,000 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
Start with 8 MB (8000000 bytes). The result states whether its actual bytes meet that target; some clips cannot fit without losing too much detail.
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
8 MB means 8000000 bytes. Decimal MB is the default; choose MiB in the tool if the recipient specifies it. Meeting this target does not guarantee platform acceptance.
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.
