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.

Read the video specifications

Pinterest’s organic Video Pin guide lists supported formats, encoding and a length from four seconds to five minutes. Its image size limits are not video ceilings. These presets are smaller-file suggestions, not copies of image or advertising limits.

Keep useful details visible

Craft and cooking tutorials often depend on fine hand movements and small labels. Review those areas after compression. SizeVideo does not add a cover, edit Pin descriptions or crop the video into Pinterest’s recommended shape.

Questions about Pinterest

Does the 20 MB image limit apply to my video?

Do not assume that. Pinterest separates image, organic video and ad specifications.

Can I use this for a Pinterest video ad?

You can prepare a smaller file, but ads have separate requirements. Check the ad specifications for the intended placement.

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.
