Why compress a video for WhatsApp?
Messaging apps optimize media for mobile networks and may reject files that are too large. A precise target makes it easier to stay under the limit while preserving as much quality as the clip allows.
How to do it
- Select the 16 MB WhatsApp preset.
- Use the original video if it is already clear and well-lit.
- Download the MP4 and send it as WhatsApp media or a document.
FAQ
Can I compress a video to 16MB for WhatsApp?
Yes. Set the target to 16 MB and the browser encoder will calculate a target bitrate for your video duration.
Will WhatsApp compress it again?
WhatsApp may apply its own media optimization. Starting with a correctly sized MP4 helps you stay within the upload workflow.
Does this work on mobile?
It works in modern mobile browsers, although longer videos may encode faster on a desktop or laptop.
