Frequently Asked Questions
How long can a 25MB video be?
At 720p medium quality: about 60-90 seconds. At 480p: about 2-3 minutes. At 1080p: about 30-45 seconds. Length depends on resolution and content complexity.
Can I compress a 500MB video to 25MB?
Yes, but quality will decrease significantly (95% compression). For best results, trim to the essential clip first, then compress. Short clips compress to 25MB with good quality.
What resolution for 25MB video?
720p is the sweet spot for 1-minute clips at 25MB. For longer videos, 480p maintains clarity while fitting the size limit.
