Compress video for Outlook20 MB

Fit your video into 20 MB — the Outlook limit on the All accounts plan. No upload to any server.

Platform
14.6 MB

Email attachments grow by about a third in transit, so the file is compressed to 14.6 MB.

Optimal parameters are calculated automatically

Usually takes 10 – 60 seconds, depending on the file and the device

Outlook accepts files up to 20 MB. If your video is bigger, SelfKit shrinks it right in your browser so it fits — as sharp as the limit allows.

How to send a video on Outlook

  1. 1

    Choose your video above — Outlook is already selected.

  2. 2

    If you have a paid Outlook plan, pick it to use the bigger limit.

  3. 3

    Press “Compress video” and download the result.

  4. 4

    Upload it to Outlook as usual.

Common problems

The upload is rejected as too large
Compress the video with the Outlook preset: the result is always checked against the limit.
The video looks blurry
A long video in a small limit gets little data per second. Trim it to the important part first or pick a bigger plan.
The video does not play
SelfKit always saves MP4 (H.264) — it plays on every phone and computer.

Does it work on a phone?
