Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a video to exactly 8 MB?
This page pre-sets a 8 MB target. Drop your video and SqueezeVid calculates the right bitrate to land near that size. Longer videos may need a lower resolution to hit it.
What if the result is a bit over or under 8 MB?
Output size is an estimate — a built-in safety margin keeps it under the target in most cases. If it overshoots, lower the resolution or trim the clip and try again.
Does SqueezeVid upload my video to compress it?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device, so it is completely private — unlike cloud compressors that upload your file to a server.
Will a 8 MB target hurt quality?
It depends on length and resolution. Short clips compress to 8 MB with little visible loss; long or 4K videos need a bigger drop, so consider lowering the resolution.
