Reduce Video Size to 16 MB on Your Device
Add a video and tap 16 MB. The tool finds the best quality that fits under 16MB, at the video's own resolution, and checks the finished file: it is at most 1,60,00,000 bytes, the stricter way of counting a megabyte, so it passes everywhere. The video is made by your phone or computer and is never uploaded.
How Long a Video Fits in 16 MB
| Video | Sharp | Good | Soft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | up to 24 s | up to 42 s | up to 1 min 31 s |
| 720p (HD) | up to 53 s | up to 1 min 31 s | up to 3 min 4 s |
| 480p | up to 1 min 52 s | up to 3 min 4 s | up to 5 min 35 s |
A guide, not a promise: busy scenes need more space and talking heads or slides less. The size button shows how sharp your video will look before you start.
What If 16 MB Is Too Small?
The tool keeps the resolution and lowers the quality first. Only when a video can't fit at its own resolution even at the lowest quality does it make the picture smaller, and the result tells you. For example, a 720p video longer than about 1 min 31 s will look soft at 16 MB.
Other sizes: 5 MB, 8 MB, 10 MB, 20 MB, 25 MB, 50 MB, 100 MB. Or pick any limit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress a video to 16 MB?
Add the video, tap 16 MB and download the result. It is compressed in your browser, keeps its resolution and is checked to be at most 1,60,00,000 bytes.
How long a video fits in 16 MB?
At good quality, about 42 s of 1080p or 1 min 31 s of 720p video with sound. Longer videos still fit, but look softer.
Is the video uploaded?
No. It is compressed on your own device, so there is no upload wait and no mobile data spent on sending it to a server.
Will the resolution change?
No, unless 16 MB is impossible for that video even at the lowest quality. Then the picture is made smaller to fit and the result says so.
