Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to get you started fast.
What size limit should I compress to for Gmail?
Gmail supports attachments up to 25MB. Compress to 20MB or below to give yourself buffer.
What about Outlook?
Outlook typically limits attachments to 20MB. Use Reclip's maximum compression setting for best results.
Will the video still be watchable after compression?
Yes. Even at high compression, short clips remain clearly watchable. Longer clips may show more visible quality reduction.
Is there a faster way to share a large video?
If the file is too large even after compression, consider using Reclip's Video Downloader to trim it first, then compress.
