Compress Video for Telegram — Faster Uploads, Less Data
Telegram lets you send huge files — up to 2 GB free — so the goal here isn't fitting a limit, it's sending smaller, faster-uploading videos that don't burn through data or recipients' storage. SqueezeVid shrinks your clip in your browser before you send it, with no watermark and nothing uploaded to us.
Size limit: Telegram allows up to 2 GB per file on free accounts and 4 GB with Premium — so most videos already fit. Compressing simply makes them upload faster and use less data.

Frequently asked questions
What is Telegram's file size limit?
Free accounts can send files up to 2 GB; Telegram Premium raises that to 4 GB. Anyone can download large files, but only Premium can upload above 2 GB.
Why compress a video for Telegram if it already fits?
Smaller files upload and download much faster, use less mobile data, and take up less space for everyone in the chat.
Does SqueezeVid upload my video to compress it?
Video bytes stay on your device in this browser tool. SqueezeVid receives usage metadata to manage allowances and failures. Optional cloud processing is a separate route that requires an upload.
Will quality drop noticeably?
Use the quality slider to control it. The default keeps videos looking good while cutting file size substantially.
