Compress video to 25MB
25MB is probably the most universal target size — email attachments (Gmail / Outlook.com), Discord Nitro Basic and Messenger all sit at this tier. It's roomier than 8/10MB, so a one-to-two-minute video can stay fairly sharp. The tool above is preset to 25MB; if you're emailing, see the "compress video for email" page.
Quick answer
To compress to 25MB, ConvertMeow derives a bitrate from target size ÷ duration, then re-encodes. 25MB is a very common threshold: Gmail / Outlook.com email attachments, Discord Nitro Basic and Facebook Messenger all cluster there. It all runs locally in your browser — never uploaded, no watermark.
Compress your video to 25MB
Target size
Derives a bitrate from target size ÷ duration and re-encodes; best for short clips.
How long and sharp can 25MB be?
25MB is fairly roomy: a one-to-two-minute video at 25MB is usually clear and watchable; three to four minutes starts to soften; a 10-plus-minute clip at 25MB looks quite blurry.
If you need a longer video to stay sharp, trim to the key segment first, or consider a cloud link instead of a direct attachment.
- ≤2 minutes: sharp at 25MB.
- ~3–4 minutes: acceptable at 25MB.
- 10-plus minutes: blurry at 25MB — trim or use a cloud link.
Where is 25MB mostly used?
Email attachments are the classic case: Gmail and Outlook.com both cap a message at about 25MB (and that's the whole message combined). Discord Nitro Basic and Facebook Messenger also commonly cap at 25MB. Staying under 25MB covers these high-frequency cases at once.
Frequently asked questions
It gets close. ConvertMeow derives a bitrate from target size ÷ duration and re-encodes — videos under a couple of minutes usually land comfortably under 25MB; longer ones may come out slightly over or under, and it shows the real output size.
Yes — 25MB is exactly the common per-message cap for Gmail / Outlook.com. Note that's body + all attachments combined, so if there are other attachments, compress a bit below 25MB. For email specifically, see the "compress video for email" page.
No. Compression runs entirely locally in your browser with ffmpeg — never uploaded, no watermark, no cap.
