Compress a video to send by email
Most email services cap attachments at 20–25 MB; Gmail allows 25 MB. Frameloom compresses your video to the size you pick and keeps it playable everywhere: an H.264 MP4 that starts playing straight away.
Free to try: a 3-minute 1080p video costs 8 tokens, and you get 30 every week.
How to do it
- Open Compress to size and drop your file in, or pick it from your device. It stays on your device.
- Check the settings. 25 MB is preselected, which fits Gmail. For stricter company servers, choose 16 or 10 MB.
- Press Run, then preview and download the result.
Why not just zip it?
Video files are already compressed, so zipping them saves almost nothing. The only way to make a video meaningfully smaller is to re-encode it at a lower bitrate. Doing that without making it look bad is what Frameloom is for.
It measures your clip, chooses the bitrate that lands just under the limit, and encodes in two passes so the size is accurate. The result is a standard MP4 that plays in any email client, phone or computer.

Questions
- What size should I pick?
- 25 MB works for Gmail. Outlook.com and many company mail servers are stricter; 16 or 10 MB is the safe choice when you're not sure.
- My video is too long for 25 MB. What now?
- You'll see the minimum size it needs. Trim it first with the Trim tool, or send a link to a cloud copy instead.
- Does this cost anything?
- Every account gets 30 free tokens a week, which is enough for several compressions. The exact price is shown before you run it.
