Runs on your device — files are never uploaded

1

Drop your video

MOV, MP4, WebM, MKV or AVI — anything common.

2

Encoded to fit iMessage

The tool reads the video's duration and computes the exact bitrate that lands under 90 MB — one pass, no guessing.

3

Download and send

You get an MP4 that plays everywhere and fits where you need it.

iMessage doesn't publish a hard limit, but in practice large videos either crawl, fail, or trigger aggressive re-compression — the infamous blurry clip. Keeping the file around 90 MB sends reliably over the network while preserving far more quality than letting Messages decide.

This is the polite-size target: big enough for minutes of crisp 1080p, small enough to deliver. Recipients on Android via SMS/MMS need far smaller files — use the WhatsApp or 10 MB targets there.

Free, private, no upload. Ever.

This tool runs entirely on your device. It's built by the team behind RenameTo for Mac — where the same job is just a rename in Finder.
