Sending to family
A long phone video that kept failing to send, made small enough to go through.
Free video compressor
Compress a video under 16 MB so it actually sends
A video that is too big will not send, or it gets squeezed until it looks blurry. Pick a target, under 16 MB or under 64 MB, and Chitrio works out the right quality for your video's length, lowers the resolution only as much as it has to, and checks the result. If the first try lands over the target, it compresses again before you download.

Straight answer: Physics still applies: a 20 minute video squeezed under 16 MB will look soft. When a video is too long to fit a size and still be watchable, the tool tells you instead of handing you a blur, and suggests the larger size or the Status splitter. A small Made with Chitrio mark sits in a corner.

Questions, answered
How small can it make my video?
Under 16 MB or under 64 MB. The longer the video, the lower the quality needed to fit, so very long videos may be refused for the smaller size.
Will my video still look good?
Short videos look close to the original. The resolution steps down for longer ones, because a smaller sharp picture looks better than a large blurry one.
Does it keep the sound?
Yes. The audio is kept and compressed lightly so voices stay clear.
Does it cost anything?
No. You need a free Chitrio account, and there is a daily allowance of free jobs. No credits are used.
Is my video private?
Only you can download it, and it is deleted automatically after 48 hours.
