Compress Video for Email — Fit the 25MB Attachment Limit


Email providers reject large attachments — Gmail stops at 25 MB, Outlook at 20 MB. SqueezeVid compresses your video to fit under the limit so it actually sends, all inside your browser with no upload and no watermark. The target is pre-set to a safe 20 MB below.

Size limit: Gmail's attachment limit is 25 MB; Outlook's is 20 MB. This page targets 20 MB so the attachment sends on both. Larger files are better shared via a link.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum video size for email?

Gmail allows attachments up to 25 MB and Outlook up to 20 MB. Above that, providers either reject the message or switch to a cloud link.

How do I email a video that's too big?

Compress it under 20 MB here so it attaches normally, or for very large files upload to cloud storage and email the link instead.

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 compressing ruin the video quality?

For short clips, fitting 20 MB at 720p keeps quality high. Long or 4K videos need a bigger drop — lower the resolution or trim to keep it watchable.
