How to compress a video for Telegram (2GB)
Free Telegram accounts send 2 GB per file. Telegram Premium raises that to 4 GB. A raw camera or drone file can still sit over 2 GB.
The Telegram preset is a free 2 GB video compressor that runs locally. Use Custom 4096 only if every recipient has Premium. No watermark is added.
Telegram is more generous than Discord or WhatsApp, but drone and camera originals still miss 2 GB. If the chat is mixed free and Premium users, send the 2 GB version. Compression still helps people on slow mobile networks even when the cap would allow more.
How to compress a video for free
Three steps. The encoder runs on your device, so private clips never sit on a server.
1
Drop the video
MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, or MKV. The file is read in this tab — it is never uploaded.
2
Pick a size cap
Discord 20MB, WhatsApp 16MB, email 20–25MB, X 512MB, TikTok, Instagram, or a custom MB. Bitrate is calculated, not guessed.
3
Download the MP4
Two-pass H.264 in the browser. No watermark, no account, no daily limit.
