Telegram allows files up to 2GB but large videos take forever to upload and consume recipients data. This tool compresses videos for quick Telegram sharing while keeping quality high.
While Telegram supports 2GB files, uploading 500MB+ videos is slow and wastes mobile data for recipients. Compressing to 50-100MB makes sharing practical without sacrificing watchability.
