In this article, we will talk about how to compress video for WhatsApp. You will find the list of online video compressors to compress and send large videos on WhatsApp. And a tutorial to make your video smaller using video compressor to reduce video size. Thse videos compressors will make your video fall under WhatsApp limit.<\/p>\n
WhatsApp is a very popular messaging app with a large userbase. People use it to send photos and videos to their friends and family. With over a billion and half user base, whatsapp is one of the largest so messaging apps\u00a0on the planet.<\/p>\n
When billions of people\u00a0use it for sending\u00a0hundreds of billions of photos and videos on a daily basis, it can cost\u00a0huge amount of money for WhatsApp\u00a0to manage their servers.<\/p>\n
This is one of the reasons why there is a video compressor for WhatsApp. \u00a0When you send long videos on WhatsApp, the WhatsApp video is compressed. A 1gb video file can be compressed to a 30mb file. We’ve talked about it in detail in this article.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The short answer to this question is, No. But there is a work around to send large videos on whatsapp. Whatsapp is also used for sending documents and that is why it has a separate option for sending\u00a0document files.<\/p>\n
The whatsapp compression does not work on document files. The good thing is, even file formats such as jpg, png or video file formats like mp4 and avi can be sent via this option, and the video compression doesn’t work, meaning, the videos\u00a0can be sent to your friends and family without any compression if you send it as a document. I have\u00a0send it video files on whatsapp as large as 1GB\u00a0by sending it\u00a0as a document.<\/p>\n
However there is a downside to sending video files or photos as a document. If the recipient is using in android mobile, it is quite tricky\u00a0to save the video send as a document file. The recipient will be able to only view it.<\/p>\n
This is the very reason most users usually try sending video\u00a0the usual way\u00a0where whatsapp has\u00a0a size limit\u00a0for a video.<\/p>\n
There is a slightly shady workaround to send videos on Whatsapp without losing much of its quality. There’s something called WhatsApp GB<\/a>, which lets you bypass the video compression of Whatsapp and also the 16mb limit on video file size.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
