How it works
- Choose a video — or drop it on the tool. It is opened in your browser, not uploaded.
- The tool reads its length and resolution and calculates the bitrate that fits the target.
- It re-encodes the video on your device and lowers the resolution only if needed.
- If the result is over the limit, it runs another pass. Download the file that fits.
Didn’t fit? What to do
- For Status, trim the video to 90 seconds: WhatsApp shares only the first 90 seconds.
- Need full quality? Send the video as a Document: WhatsApp allows documents up to 2 GB.
- Trim long videos before compressing so the part that matters keeps more quality.
- On a slow connection WhatsApp defaults to 480p, so a larger resolution brings no benefit there.
