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.

Transfer allowance is cumulative

WeTransfer’s free-account guidance describes 10 transfers or up to 3 GB worth every 30 days. Do not read that as a universal per-video cap. These smaller targets can reduce the bytes in a delivery, but they do not change a transfer count or subscription allowance.

Send the downloaded copy

Download and preview the compressed video, then include it in your transfer. Check the transfer’s expiry and recipient details in WeTransfer. SizeVideo’s own temporary result link is a different service and is not a WeTransfer delivery.

Questions about WeTransfer

Will compression reset my WeTransfer allowance?

No. It changes the bytes in this video copy, not your account’s transfer history.

Can SizeVideo create the transfer?

No. You prepare the file here and use WeTransfer separately.

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.
