The converter downloads once (about 32 MB), then works offline. Your videos stay on your device.
Why 16 MB?
The classic WhatsApp video limit in many regions. Phone videos blow past it in seconds of 4K; this page re-encodes to a share-ready MP4 that WhatsApp accepts without its own brutal recompression.

Frequently asked questions
Why compress before sending on WhatsApp?
WhatsApp recompresses aggressively and ugly. Handing it a file already under the limit at a sane bitrate usually preserves noticeably more quality than letting WhatsApp do it.
Does audio survive?
Yes, audio is carried at 96 kbps AAC, plenty for phone speech and ambient sound.
Is my video uploaded to compress it?
No. The re-encode runs in your browser through WebAssembly FFmpeg. The oversized original never leaves your device, which also means no waiting for a giant upload.
How does the tool hit the size?
It reads your clip's length, computes the exact bitrate that fits 16 MB with a safety margin for container overhead, and encodes once. Short clips simply come out at high quality.
