Make a video small enough to send
Pick the size you need and download a smaller copy. The work happens on your device, and your original is unchanged.
Example: a six-minute video went from 70 MB to 25 MB and was still watchable.

When a 50 MB limit applies
Some upload forms, school and job portals, and chat apps cap a single file near 50 MB. Check the exact limit where you are sending the video, and aim a little under it, for example about 45 MB, so the upload is not refused at the edge.
What 50 MB buys
A 50 MB file holds about 400,000 kilobits. The average bitrate for picture and sound together works out to:
- 1 minute: about 6,700 kbps.
- 2 minutes: about 3,300 kbps.
- 5 minutes: about 1,300 kbps.
- 10 minutes: about 670 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 under the limit, leave it alone: another pass only costs quality.
Steps to make a video 50 MB
- 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 50 MB target, or a lower one for headroom.
- Check the reported size, then download the smaller MP4. Your original stays unchanged.
