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.

Use the current Facebook composer

Meta announced a unified video-to-Reels publishing flow. Older Feed and Reels requirements can describe different experiences. These size choices are suggestions, not a claim of one fixed byte cap across profiles, Pages and ads.

Check the uploaded copy

Facebook processes video after upload. Keep the local original and check the posted copy for sharpness and audio. Compressing here prepares a smaller file; it does not configure the audience, captions or visibility of your Facebook post.

Questions about Facebook

Is Facebook video the same as a Messenger attachment?

No. Messenger has its own attachment flow. Use the Messenger page when you are sending a file in chat.

Will a smaller file make a post public?

No. Choose the audience in Facebook when publishing. SizeVideo does not publish or change account permissions.

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.
