Add up all attachments
Personal Gmail accounts allow 25 MB of attachments in total. If you attach several files, reserve space for the others. Google Workspace administrators set work and school sending limits, so those accounts may differ.

How to make your video smaller
- Choose a preset
Start with a target above, or open Full controls for a custom maximum and video settings.
- Select your video
Choose a local file. Review the selected maximum, any resolution cap and the advice before compressing.
- Download and review
Save the result and check its quality. Upload or attach it in your destination app yourself.
Attachment or Drive link?
Gmail may replace an over-limit attachment with a Google Drive link. A smaller MP4 helps when you specifically want an attachment, but recipients can have smaller mail limits. Try the 20 MB target first when you need room for other files.
Questions about Gmail
Can I attach two 25 MB videos?
Not within the documented personal Gmail total attachment budget. Use smaller targets for both files or choose a link-sharing workflow.
Does this upload to my Google Drive?
No. You choose a local video, download the result and attach it in Gmail yourself.
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.
