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.

Choose the file attachment flow

Meta documents sending files up to 100 MB through the plus button and file picker in Messenger. This is file-attachment guidance, not evidence that every video or gallery picker accepts the same limit.

Try the downloaded file

Download the MP4, then attach it in the intended chat. If a particular app flow rejects it, check the limit in that flow and select a smaller custom maximum. Native-app acceptance has not been tested by SizeVideo.

Questions about Messenger

Is 100 MB a universal Messenger video limit?

No. The source describes file attachments. Video and gallery flows may behave differently.

Can I share the SizeVideo result link instead?

A result link is temporary and expires according to its retention. Download and attach the file when the recipient needs a durable copy.

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.
