Frequently Asked Questions
How to get a video under 10MB?
Use 480p resolution, medium-low quality, and keep the clip under 60 seconds. For longer videos, 360p or removing audio helps fit the limit.
Will a 10MB video look bad?
For short clips (under 30 seconds) at 480p, quality is acceptable for web viewing. Longer videos at 10MB will show noticeable compression artifacts.
What is the best resolution for 10MB?
480p (854×480) for clips under 60 seconds. 360p for clips up to 2 minutes. 720p only works for very short clips (under 15 seconds).
