Planning for a 25 MB mail ceiling
Gmail's attachment limit stays about 25 MB. Mail servers also encode attachments for transport, which adds roughly one third, and some providers count the encoded size. A video that is exactly 25 MB can therefore still be refused. Aim for about 18 MB when a hard 25 MB message limit applies.
What 25 MB buys
A 25 MB file holds about 200,000 kilobits. The average bitrate for picture and sound together works out to:
- 1 minute: about 3,300 kbps.
- 2 minutes: about 1,700 kbps.
- 5 minutes: about 670 kbps.
- 10 minutes: about 330 kbps, which is low quality.
Compress, trim or leave it
Compress when the whole clip matters. If only part of it matters, trim first and compress the shorter clip, which keeps more detail per second inside the same size. If a video is already well under 18 MB, leave it alone: another pass only costs quality.
Steps to prepare a video for mail
- Choose a supported MP4, MOV or HEVC video in Timamu Web.
- Free runs the compress job within the Free video allowance. Premium accepts an exact 25 MB target, or a lower one for mail headroom.
- Check the reported size, then attach the downloaded MP4 to your message.
Questions
Why did my 24 MB video get refused by email?
Attachment encoding adds about one third, so the message can exceed the provider limit even when the file is below it. Compress to a lower size than the limit.
Is a link better than an attachment?
For recordings longer than a few minutes, a shared link often works better than squeezing the video under an attachment limit. For a short clip, an attachment is simpler.
Do I need Premium for 25 MB?
An exact target size is Premium. Free covers 3 successful compress or convert jobs per rolling 24 hours, shared, with files up to 100 MB.
