Prepare a smaller video attachment for Signal messages.
Start with a target above, or open Full controls for a custom maximum and video settings.
Choose a local file. Review the selected maximum, any resolution cap and the advice before compressing.
Save the result and check its quality. Upload or attach it in your destination app yourself.
Signal supports attaching a video or file to a message. Its public sending guide does not establish one universal video byte ceiling, so these are suggested sizes. If your client rejects a file, use its reported limit in Full controls.
A video that needs encoding is uploaded to SizeVideo’s processing service. That step is outside Signal’s end-to-end encrypted conversation. Review SizeVideo’s privacy policy before choosing sensitive footage; download the result and attach it yourself.
No. It is a separate service. Compression requires an upload unless the original already fits and needs no changes.
It can reduce the bytes to transfer, but a disconnected or restricted Signal client still needs its connection restored.
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.
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.
