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.

Quota and file limits differ

Google Drive documents up to 5 TB for other files, including stored video, subject to available storage and other account rules. Our presets aim to reduce storage and transfer bytes; they are not Drive plan ceilings.

Replace a copy only after checking it

Compress a local video and inspect the result before uploading it. Keep the original when future editing or archival quality matters. SizeVideo does not delete an existing Drive file, adjust sharing permissions or connect to your Drive account.

Questions about Google Drive

Will this automatically free my Drive storage?

No. You decide which files to upload, retain or remove in Drive. Compression only produces another local copy to download.

Can I use the result as a Gmail attachment?

Yes, if the downloaded file fits the applicable email budget. Choose the Gmail page for that smaller target.

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.
