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.

Storage allowance is separate

Vimeo advises files below 200 GB and does not support videos longer than 24 hours; plan allowances can impose additional restrictions. These smaller presets do not mirror Vimeo’s plan storage allowance or its maximum supported file size.

Choose a review copy deliberately

A compact MP4 can help with an upload on a slow connection, but it is not an archival master. Review gradients, faces and fine textures before posting a portfolio piece. Keep the source export for future edits.

Questions about Vimeo

Will compression increase my Vimeo storage plan?

No. It can reduce the bytes of this copy, but it does not change Vimeo’s account allowance.

Does SizeVideo send the video to Vimeo?

No. Download the result and upload it through your Vimeo account yourself.

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.
