How to Compress a Video to a Specific File Size (Email, 25 MB and More)
On this page (3)
Many e-mail and messaging apps have a size limit, often 16 MB or 25 MB. Video Compressor & Resizer can compress a video to fit a limit you choose.
Compress to a size limit
- Open the app and tap Select video. Choose a video from the gallery or the file manager.
- In Video Compression Profile, choose Email & Messengers.
- Select your e-mail provider's limit (16 MB or 25 MB), or tap Your own size limit and enter any size from 1 to 5000 MB.
- Check the expected size shown on the screen, for example "Target 25 MB: about 23 MB (82% smaller)".
- Tap Compress video.
If you see "isn't reachable for this clip", the video is too long for that limit. Trim it (for example with First 1 min, or Start here and End here) or choose a larger limit.
The other profiles
- Balanced: the smallest size that still looks the same on a phone.
- Social Media & Reels: smooth 1080p Full HD for Instagram Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
- Smallest file: maximum space saving for quick sharing.
- Original resolution and Maximum quality (PRO): keep the resolution and frame rate, or stay visually identical to the original.
After compressing
- Compare Before / After shows the original and the compressed video side by side.
- Compressed videos are saved in Movies/VideoPressPro.
- Replace original deletes the large original and keeps only the compressed video. This cannot be undone, so use it only when you are happy with the result.
