Compress Video to 25 MB, Checked Before You Download
Gmail allows up to 25 MB of attachments per email, and many other email services set a similar cap. Drop your video in and the target is already set to 25 MB: ClipCut works out the quality that fits, checks the size of the finished file and re-encodes smaller if it is over. Nothing is uploaded.
Auto makes a sharp 720p MP4. Pick a size and ClipCut aims just under it, then checks the real file size. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes.
Your file never leaves this device. Closing the editor wipes it.
How to use the Compress Video to 25 MB
- Drop in the video. Cut it shorter first if you only need part of it.
- Check that 25 MB is selected as the target size.
- Press Compress to 25 MB, check the size shown on the result and download.
How long a video fits
ClipCut keeps 1080p up to about 1 minute 10 when the original is 1080p or more, 720p up to about 2 minutes 45, and can fit up to about 21 minutes at low quality. Shorter videos stay sharper, so trim what you do not need first.
Checked, not guessed
A bitrate is only a target, so ClipCut measures the finished file. If it is over 25 MB it re-encodes smaller, up to twice. If it still cannot fit, it says so and shows the closest size instead of claiming success.
Frequently asked questions
Will the file be exactly 25 MB?
No, it aims just under 25 MB, so it is usually a little smaller. The real size is shown before you download.
What happens in Gmail if the video is over 25 MB?
Gmail turns attachments over 25 MB into a Google Drive link instead of attaching the file. Compressing under 25 MB keeps it a normal attachment.
Why does the size look different on my computer?
ClipCut counts 1 MB as 1,000,000 bytes, like phones, Macs and most upload limits. Windows counts 1,048,576, so a file just under 25 MB here shows a little smaller there.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The video is compressed in your browser on your own device and never leaves it.
