How to compress a video for Email
| # | Step | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Drop your clip | MP4, MOV, or WebM — decoded in the browser. |
| 02 | Pick Strong | Tuned for Email's 10–25 MB (provider-dependent) ceiling. Switch levels if you need more quality. |
| 03 | Check size and send | Download the MP4 and upload in Email. |
Email stops oversized sends at about 10–25 MB (provider-dependent). Common ISP/webmail attachment caps sit between 10 and 25 MB. Use Strong compression in your browser — no upload.
Email limits
Size: 10–25 MB (provider-dependent). Common ISP/webmail attachment caps sit between 10 and 25 MB.
Assume 720p Strong unless you know the recipient’s cap.
Most providers reject or link-ify attachments past ~10–25 MB.
How this preset helps
Default recommendation: Strong. You can still pick Strong, Medium, or Light and preview before download.
Compression runs on your device. Exports stay clean — no watermark.

Tips
When in doubt, stay under 10 MB — Outlook and some corp gateways are stricter than Gmail.
One clip per mail; zip only if both sides agree.
Cut, then compress — never the other way around for long takes.
Questions

No. The compressor runs in your browser for this job.
Use /compress-video for Strong / Medium / Light without a platform default.
More than a video compressor
Under the cap, the clip can still be better. Convert the container, stabilize, reframe for social or add captions. Studio exports at the size you set after the edit, not before it.
