Compress video for WhatsApp.

WhatsApp caps videos around 16 MB — this targets 15 MB so it sends as a playable video, not a document.

Runs on your device — files are never uploaded

1

Drop your video

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

2

Encoded to fit WhatsApp

The tool reads the video's duration and computes the exact bitrate that lands under 15 MB — one pass, no guessing.

3

Download and send

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

WhatsApp limits videos sent as media to roughly 16 MB (documents get more, but then there's no preview and no inline playback). Worse, WhatsApp's own compressor is brutal — sending a pre-compressed 15 MB file usually looks better than letting the app crush a 200 MB original.

This tool encodes to 15 MB with a 1280px cap, which matches how WhatsApp displays video anyway. Result: sends first try, plays inline, looks intentional.

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.
