Questions
- What is WhatsApp's video limit?
- WhatsApp's help page gives 64 MB on a slow connection and 100 MB on a fast one. Under 64 MB, a video goes through for everyone.
- Why not send it as a document?
- As a document, a video of up to 2 GB goes through as it is, but it has to be downloaded before it plays. Compressed under 64 MB, it plays in the chat.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, in a recent browser: the page uses your phone's own video chip, and nothing is uploaded.
How it works
Your video stays with you
Your browser reads the video and encodes it again on your device, with its own video chip. It is sent to no server: you can go offline once the compression has started.
You give a size, not settings
Say where the video is going: the page works out the bitrate, the resolution and the frames per second that fit under the limit, then weighs the result. If it is over, it starts again a little lower.
Free and without limit, because nothing goes through us
A site that compresses on its servers pays for every file, so it limits what it gives away. Here your device does the work: no account, no queue, no watermark.
