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.

  1. Step 1

    Choose a video
    Pick the file that needs to fit under 8 MB.
  2. Step 2

    Set the limit
    Keep 8 MB or enter another target size.
  3. Step 3

    Download the result
    Save the video after its final size is verified.

What to expect

Supported inputs

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.
