Compress video for Telegram

MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI and more — any size, no upload
🔒 Files never leave your device — everything runs in your browser.
Telegram's 2 GB limit (4 GB with Premium) means you rarely compress to pass a check — you compress out of courtesy and practicality. A 700 MB video takes ages to upload, streams poorly on mobile connections, and silently eats the data plan of every member of a group chat who taps play.
A 50–100 MB version sends in seconds, scrubs smoothly in Telegram's player, and still looks excellent for most footage. Compression happens on your own device with a guaranteed final size — pick a preset, drop the file, and send the result without making your group regret the tap.

Frequently asked questions
Telegram allows 2 GB — why compress at all?
Because the limit is not the experience. Large files upload slowly, buffer when streamed, and consume the mobile data of everyone who watches. A compressed version arrives instantly and plays smoothly — the difference is felt by the receiver more than the sender.
Does Telegram re-compress my video?
If you send as a video message, Telegram may transcode it for streaming; sending as a file preserves it exactly. Either way, a sensibly compressed MP4 survives the pipeline with quality intact and streams well in-app.
What size should I pick for a group chat?
50 MB is the courteous default for a few minutes of footage — quick for you to send, light for members on mobile data. Save the larger presets for one-to-one chats or when detail truly matters.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. ConvertUno runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your file never leaves your computer or phone — there is no upload at all.
Is it really free, with no watermark?
Yes. Processing happens on your device, so serving you costs us almost nothing — no watermark, no account, no file-size limit, no daily quota.
