Compress video for email
Targets 25MB, the attachment ceiling most email providers enforce, so your video actually sends.

How it works
Drop your video in. WavyVid reads its length, resolution, and bitrate right in your browser — nothing uploads anywhere.
It works out the exact bitrate (and resolution, if needed) that lands as close to your target size as possible without wrecking quality.
Download the compressed file, or share it straight from the result screen. Original stays on your device the whole time.
Gmail and Outlook both cap attachments around 25MB, and anything larger either bounces or gets auto-converted into a shareable link you didn't ask for. This tool targets that ceiling directly so a quick walkthrough, testimonial clip, or home video attaches normally instead of failing silently.
Frequently asked questions
Is 25MB the limit for all email providers?
It's the common ceiling for Gmail and Outlook. Some corporate mail servers set lower limits — if yours does, try the 10MB or 8MB compressor instead.
Why did my email bounce even though the file said 24MB?
Email attachments grow roughly 30% larger once base64-encoded for transport. WavyVid's 25MB target already accounts for typical provider limits, but very close-to-the-edge files can still occasionally bounce — sizing down to 20MB is a safer bet if that happens.
Can I compress multiple videos at once?
Not yet — WavyVid processes one file at a time in this browser tab, though you can run it again immediately for another file.
Does compressing hurt audio quality noticeably?
Audio gets its own reserved bitrate budget (128kbps by default) separate from video, so voice and dialogue stay clear even when the video bitrate is tight.
