Compress Video to 50MB
50MB gives you enough room for a longer clip or higher resolution without hitting the tighter caps smaller forms enforce — common for WordPress media uploads, course and LMS submission portals, and professional portfolio pieces. Set 50MB as an exact target instead of guessing at a quality level.

Small enough for most upload forms and chat apps.
Hits an exact 50MB target — built for platforms with a hard upload ceiling, not a quality goal
Enough headroom for longer clips or higher resolution than a stricter 10MB target allows
Common fit for WordPress uploads, LMS/coursework portals, and portfolio submissions
When 50MB is the number that matters
Some platforms don't weigh visual quality at all — they just reject anything over their upload ceiling. WordPress's default media limit, LMS coursework portals, and many portfolio or application sites use limits in the 25-50MB range set by their hosting or storage tier. Target-size mode calculates the bitrate needed to land your video at 50MB regardless of its original length, so you know it'll clear the limit before you even try uploading.
Recommended settings
What we'd pick for this job. After choosing a file, resolution sits right under the compression settings, crop is under “Resize / crop”, and codec is under “Advanced settings”.
Target size · 50 MB
Pre-filled — plenty for a minute or more of 1080p.

1080p, or 720p past ~1 minute
1080p fits about a minute at this size; longer videos look better at 720p.

Approximate length at typical streaming bitrates, with 128kbps audio. Target-size mode works out the exact bitrate for your clip automatically — this just shows what to expect.

Tips for the best result
Enough for a full minute of 1080p
50MB comfortably holds over a minute of 1080p at streaming quality — enough for most highlight reels and product videos.
Longer video? Choose 720p
For multi-minute clips, a 720p result holds up much better at 50MB than a heavily squeezed 1080p file.
Trim before you compress
Every second you cut is size saved at full quality. Removing a slow intro or a long ending is usually worth more than an extra compression step.
Start from the original file
Compression is lossy, so re-compressing a video that has already been shrunk (or sent through a chat app) stacks artifacts. Always work from the camera or editor export.

Frequently Asked Questions
It usually comes down to hosting or storage-tier limits rather than anything to do with video quality — many shared hosting plans and course platforms set a blanket ceiling to keep storage and server load predictable across all their users.
Often yes, especially at 720p or lower — the app calculates the bitrate needed for your exact duration, so longer clips just get compressed more aggressively to still land at 50MB.
A quality preset (Basic/Strong/Superb) targets how the video looks and lets the resulting size vary. This works backwards from the number itself, which matters when a platform enforces a hard upload ceiling rather than judging visual quality.
No — the target-size calculation adjusts to your video's actual duration automatically. A short clip simply ends up with more quality headroom within the same 50MB budget.
For files under 200MB, compression happens entirely in your browser — your video never leaves your device. Larger files are processed on our server and deleted automatically after a short period.
