About this tool

When you need 10 MB

A 10 MB ceiling is common on contact forms, job-application portals, customer support tickets and older messaging apps.

Fitting the file under 10 MB

If the form also accepts a link, uploading the full-quality file to a host and pasting the link keeps the original sharp. Use this page when an attachment is the only option. The tool aims for roughly 93 to 95 percent of the limit so the finished file does not tip over it.

Other size limits

Need a different ceiling? Use the related pages for other common upload caps, or the general FileHost.net Video Compressor for manual quality control.

Frequently asked questions

The tool divides 10 MB by the length of your clip to find the bitrate that fits, lowers the resolution if that bitrate would look blocky, then checks the result and re-encodes with a correction if it came out too large.

Many support desks, CRM attachments, application forms and some email gateways. Check the error message on the upload field for the exact number.

No. Encoding happens on your device with the WebCodecs API built into your browser, so the file never leaves it.

The tool tells you before encoding starts. About 1 minute is the practical limit at 10 MB; trim the clip first with the Video Trimmer or pick a larger size.

You can force 1080p, 720p, 480p or 360p. The size target stays fixed, so a higher resolution simply means a lower bitrate per pixel.
