One clip. A clear maximum.

How to make your video smaller

  1. Choose a preset

    Start with a target above, or open Full controls for a custom maximum and video settings.

  2. Select your video

    Choose a local file. Review the selected maximum, any resolution cap and the advice before compressing.

  3. Download and review

    Save the result and check its quality. Upload or attach it in your destination app yourself.

Available storage matters

Dropbox currently documents a 2 TB per-file maximum and warns that browser uploads above 375 GB can be unreliable. Available account storage is a separate restriction. These presets are smaller copies, not Dropbox Basic or paid-plan limits.

Preserve the master separately

A compressed copy can use fewer bytes than the original. Compare both before replacing a file, and keep the master for future edits. SizeVideo does not connect to Dropbox or remove files from your account.

Questions about Dropbox

Does this compress my entire Dropbox folder?

No. This tool processes one locally selected video at a time.

Will the compressed copy keep the same format?

Encoded results are MP4. Keep the source if your editing workflow needs its original format.

Can I change a preset?

Yes. Full controls opens the normal size ruler, custom maximum, resolution, frame rate and audio settings. Switching controls keeps the selected file. Presets set a maximum; the actual result can be smaller.

Will every video reach this size?

No. Very small targets can be unsuitable or fail for a long or detailed clip. Read the advice, try lower resolution or choose a larger maximum. Compression does not trim video or bypass a destination’s content and account rules.
