How long a clip fits in 10 MB
A 10 MB file holds about 80,000 kilobits. Divide that by the length of the clip and you get the average bitrate for picture and sound together. This is plain arithmetic, and it explains why length matters more than anything else.
- 15 seconds: about 5,300 kbps, enough for a sharp result.
- 30 seconds: about 2,700 kbps, a good everyday result.
- 1 minute: about 1,300 kbps, softer, with visible compression in fast motion.
- 2 minutes: about 670 kbps, noticeably soft.
Steps to reach about 10 MB
- Choose a supported MP4, MOV or HEVC video in Timamu Web.
- On Free, run the compress job within the Free video allowance. On Premium, enter 10 MB as the target.
- Read the reported size when the job ends.
- Download the MP4. The original is never replaced.
Free and Premium on this job

Questions
Why does my 10 MB video look soft?
The arithmetic above applies to every encoder. A long clip squeezed into 10 MB gets few bits per second, so fine detail and fast motion suffer first. Shortening the clip before compressing helps more than any setting.
Can I reach 10 MB on Free?
Free shrinks the clip within the Free video allowance (3 successful compress or convert jobs per rolling 24 hours, shared, files up to 100 MB). A typed target size such as 10 MB is Premium.
Should I trim the clip first?
If only part of the video matters, trim it in your phone gallery or editor first. A shorter clip leaves more bits per second inside the same 10 MB.
