Compress a video to 10 MB

10 MB is a common cap for forums, school portals, support forms and older chat apps. LimitFix gets your video under it while keeping as much quality as 10 MB allows.

Compressed on your device. Your video isn't uploaded.

What fits in 10 MB

10 MB is tight for video. A short clip can stay sharp at 720p; anything over a couple of minutes drops to a lower resolution so it stays watchable. The table shows realistic lengths for each quality level.

Getting the best result at 10 MB

  • Trim first: halving the length doubles the quality budget.
  • Talking-head and screen recordings compress far better than fast action or confetti.
  • If it must be sharp, send a shorter clip rather than a smaller picture.

How much video fits in 10 MB

Approximate maximum length at each quality, including audio. Simple scenes compress better; fast action needs more room.

Questions people ask

How long can a 10 MB video be?

Roughly 16 s at 1080p, 32 s at 720p, 1 min 18 s at 480p or 2 min 47 s at 360p. Simple scenes (talking, screen recordings) can run longer; fast action needs more room.

Will the video still look good?

LimitFix picks the highest resolution the size budget can render cleanly instead of keeping full resolution and smearing everything. Short clips usually stay in 1080p or 720p; long videos drop to a lower resolution so they stay sharp rather than blocky.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. LimitFix compresses the video inside your browser, on your own device, so the file isn't uploaded to us or anyone else. The only exception is the optional cloud processing for Pro users, which you have to choose explicitly; those files are deleted automatically after processing.
