Compress video to 50MB
50MB leaves plenty of bitrate headroom, so even longer clips or 1080p footage tend to come out looking close to the original.

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.
50MB is generous enough to keep most clips under 5 minutes at full 1080p, which makes it a good fit for boosted Discord servers, LMS/course upload portals, and social platforms with generous but non-zero size caps. If your source is already small, WavyVid won't pad it out to 50MB — you'll just get your file back at its natural size.
Frequently asked questions
Will WavyVid make my file bigger to hit 50MB?
No. If your video is already smaller than the target, it's left as-is (or lightly re-encoded for compatibility) rather than artificially inflated.
Is 50MB enough to keep 1080p?
For clips up to roughly 4-5 minutes, yes. Longer clips may still get downscaled slightly to protect bitrate — you'll see the final resolution before downloading.
Does this work for screen recordings?
Yes — screen recordings tend to compress especially well since there's less motion complexity than live-action footage.
What formats does it accept?
Most common formats — MP4, MOV, WebM, and more — since the underlying engine (ffmpeg.wasm) reads a wide range of containers and codecs.
