Frequently asked questions
Why 20 MB and not 25 MB?
Mail providers count the whole message — attachment encoding (base64 adds ~33%), headers and body. 20 MB of video reliably clears a 25 MB cap; 24.9 MB does not.
Should I compress or use a link instead?
For one-off sends under a minute or two of footage, compressing is simplest for the recipient. For long videos, a cloud link is honestly better — this tool tells you when a target is unrealistically small instead of producing mush.
Does this work on iPhone footage (HEVC/HDR)?
Yes on almost all modern computers — HEVC decode uses your hardware. HDR footage is tone-mapped to SDR during compression (with a notice), so colors stay natural on the recipient's screen.
