FAQ
How long can a video be to fit in 5 MB?
It depends on the quality you want. As a rule of thumb, 5 MB holds about 1 minute of good-looking 720p, or roughly half that at 1080p. Longer videos still fit, at lower quality — reduce the resolution to keep them sharp.
What if the result is slightly over the limit?
We check the size after encoding and automatically run a corrected second pass if it overshoots, so the file lands just under your target.
Will the audio still sound good?
Yes. In target-size mode audio is encoded as 96 kbps AAC, which is clear for speech and fine for music, leaving most of the budget for the picture.
