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.

Standard posts: size and time

X documents a 512 MB maximum and 140-second duration for non-Premium uploads. The size preset does not trim a longer video. Shorten the clip separately if the standard-account duration is exceeded.

X Premium is a different subscription

X describes larger and longer uploads for Premium, with client-specific conditions. Those multi-GB ceilings exceed SizeVideo’s 1 GB output maximum, so use Full controls for a smaller target. An X subscription does not unlock SizeVideo Premium.

Questions about X (Twitter)

Is this also a Twitter video compressor?

Yes. X and Twitter refer to the same destination here, with one page and the same compressor.

Why not offer a multi-GB X Premium preset?

SizeVideo outputs at most 1 GB for Premium. A smaller output can still be useful for an X Premium upload, but this tool cannot encode to X’s larger published ceiling.

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.
