Compress video for WhatsApp.

Prepare a video for WhatsApp sharing with a precise 16 MB target and no cloud upload.

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

  1. Select the 16 MB WhatsApp preset.
  2. Use the original video if it is already clear and well-lit.
  3. 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.
