Video Too Large to Send? File Size Limits for Gmail, Discord, Telegram and More
"File too large" is the most common reason a video cannot be sent. These are the usual limits (they can change):
| Service | Approximate limit |
|---|---|
| Gmail attachment | 25 MB |
| Outlook attachment | 20 MB |
| Discord (free) | 10 MB |
| WhatsApp as video | compressed by WhatsApp; send as document for up to about 2 GB |
| Telegram | 2 GB (4 GB with Premium) |
Make it fit
- Open Video Compressor & Resizer and select the video.
- Choose target size and enter the limit with a little room – for example 9 MB for Discord or 24 MB for Gmail.
- Compress and send the new file.
Very long video? A small size limit means low quality. Trim the parts you do not need first, or share a link from Google Drive instead.
