🔒 Files never leave your device — everything runs in your browser.
2 MB is the classic small-attachment wall: phpBB-era forums, support ticket systems, CMS media fields and job or government web forms still enforce it, usually with an unhelpful "file too large" and no hint of what would fit. It is also the size class where a short clip starts beating an animated GIF at its own game — smaller file, far better motion.
Two megabytes is a genuinely tight budget, so honesty matters: a clip of a few seconds can stay sharp, around thirty seconds expect visibly reduced resolution, and long footage will come out small and soft — at that point trimming the clip first (one click on this site) buys far more quality than any encoder trick. The tool targets the byte count itself and steps resolution down gracefully rather than smear the picture.

Frequently asked questions
How long a video can realistically fit in 2 MB?
A 5–10 second clip keeps decent quality; around 30 seconds lands in small-resolution territory; beyond a minute the picture gets soft no matter the encoder. If you only need part of the clip, trim it first — every second removed is bitrate given back to the rest.
Is a 2 MB video better than a GIF?
Almost always — an MP4 at 2 MB carries several times the motion quality of a 2 MB GIF, plays everywhere GIFs play in modern apps, and supports sound. If the destination truly requires GIF, this site converts MP4 to GIF too.
Why does my form still reject a file that says 2 MB?
Size checks are exact and measured differently by your OS and the server — a file displayed as 2.0 MB can be 2,097,300 bytes to the checker. ConvertUno lands safely under the target, not just near it, so the upload passes.
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.
