Re-encode a video so it lands under a size cap — with presets for the 8, 10, and 25 MB limits used by Discord and most email providers — without sending it to a server first.
Most people compress video for one reason: something refused the file. Discord caps free uploads, email providers commonly reject attachments over 25 MB, and messaging apps have limits of their own. Instead of asking you to guess at a bitrate, this tool asks for a target — with presets at 8, 10, and 25 MB — and works backwards: it measures your video's duration, computes the bitrate that fits, and re-encodes to land under the cap, not just near it.
Compression is arithmetic. The size budget divided by the duration gives the bitrate, and bitrate is what quality is made of. A 30-second clip squeezed under 8 MB still gets over 2 Mbps and will look respectable; a 10-minute video under the same cap gets roughly 100 kbps and will look rough — blocky motion, smeared detail. No tool can route around that math. If the result looks poor, the honest fixes are a bigger target or a shorter clip.
The re-encode runs through your browser's built-in hardware video codecs, so a 200 MB phone video starts compressing immediately instead of spending ten minutes uploading first. The audio track is carried over wherever the browser supports audio encoding. Because everything executes on your own hardware, SafeFileConvert imposes no daily task limits and adds no watermark — restrictions upload-based competitors rely on precisely because server time costs them money.
No. The encoder runs inside your browser, so even very large videos are processed in place without any network transfer.
It will come out under the target with a small safety margin, because a file that lands even slightly over the cap would still be rejected.
The target size is spread across the video's entire duration, so long videos end up with a very low bitrate. Trim the clip shorter or pick a larger target for better quality.
Yes, when your browser supports audio encoding through WebCodecs; most current browsers do. If yours does not, the output will be video-only.
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Very old browsers lack the required codec APIs and will see a message asking you to update.
