How to compress a video for Telegram
| # | Step | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Drop your clip | MP4, MOV, or WebM — decoded in the browser. |
| 02 | Pick Medium | Tuned for Telegram's 2 GB ceiling. Switch levels if you need more quality. |
| 03 | Check size and send | Download the MP4 and upload in Telegram. |
Telegram stops oversized sends at about 2 GB. Telegram bot/user upload limits reach about 2 GB depending on client. Use Medium compression in your browser — no upload.
Telegram limits
Size: 2 GB. Telegram bot/user upload limits reach about 2 GB depending on client.
Use Medium for quality chats; Strong when sending over mobile data.
Telegram allows large files, but chat previews and mobile data still benefit from a smaller encode.
How this preset helps
Default recommendation: Medium. You can still pick Strong, Medium, or Light and preview before download.
Compression runs on your device. Exports stay clean — no watermark.

Tips
2 GB is the ceiling — compress anyway for faster sends.
MP4 plays inline more reliably than exotic containers.
For stories/status-style clips, keep them short and Strong.

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.
