Prepare a smaller video for Threads with optional compact-post targets.
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.
Meta’s original Threads announcement described video posts up to five minutes. It is historical guidance, not proof of every current account’s settings. These presets do not claim a universal Threads byte ceiling; check the current composer before posting.
Compression reduces bytes, not running time. If the composer rejects length, edit the clip first. The output preserves the original shape and audio unless you choose different settings in Full controls.
Threads is a separate posting destination. These are smaller-file choices, not a claim that it shares all Instagram requirements.
No. You download a file and choose the post, audience and text in Threads yourself.
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.
