How to email a large video
Most email services stop attachments at 20 or 25 MB, and company mail servers are often set lower. Compress the video under the limit here, then attach the MP4 to your message as usual.

What to expect
- What happens
- The video is re-encoded to an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, the most widely playable combination. Bitrate and resolution are chosen from the size budget, and the finished file is measured before you can download it.
- Good to know
- The limit covers every attachment in the message together, and email encoding makes attachments about a third larger in transit. The recipient’s server may accept less than yours sends, so the smaller the file, the safer.
Illustrations are simplified, and limits can change.
