Compress Video for Email Online Free

Different email providers have different attachment size limits. Gmail allows up to 25MB, Outlook/Hotmail allows 20MB, Yahoo Mail allows 25MB, and many corporate email systems limit attachments to 10MB. When you exceed these limits, the email may be rejected or the video may be uploaded to a cloud service instead of being attached directly. Our compressor has presets for all common email limits.

Upload your video, select 'Auto' mode, and choose the email preset that matches your provider (25MB for Gmail, 10MB for conservative limits). Click compress and your video will be ready to attach to an email. The process takes just seconds for most videos.

When emailing videos, consider the recipient's email provider as well. If you're unsure, use the 10MB preset to ensure compatibility with all providers. For longer videos, consider uploading to a cloud service and sharing a link instead. However, for short clips and personal videos, direct attachment after compression is usually the most convenient option.

For email, file size is usually more important than quality since recipients may view on various devices. We recommend 480p or 720p resolution for emailed videos, which provides good quality while keeping file sizes small. Our 'Smallest File' quick preset is ideal for email attachments.
