How to compress a video to 8 MB
Choose a video and keep the 8 MB target, or enter another limit. This 8 MB video compressor picks a bitrate and resolution that fit, encodes the video in your browser, and measures the finished file before offering the download.

What to expect
- Supported inputs
- MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, MPEG-TS (.ts, .mts), and 3GP videos. AVI, WMV, and FLV files can’t be opened yet.
- What happens
- The default limit is 8 MB. Bitrate is estimated from the limit and source size, and the resolution steps down when the budget is too tight for a sharp picture. The output is checked against the limit and the original file size. A smaller input is never intentionally expanded to fill the limit.
- Limits
- A bitrate estimate is not a size guarantee. Very short size budgets, unsupported codecs, or device memory limits can prevent a valid export.
Your files stay on your device
Your computer does the work, so the file never has to be uploaded, and that’s also why it’s free: there’s no server time for us to pay for. You don’t need an account, and nothing you make gets a watermark.
