Gmail lets you attach up to 25 MB, but that ceiling applies after encoding — attachments are Base64-encoded in transit, which inflates them by roughly a third. A 24 MB file can still bounce.
Because of encoding overhead, aim for about 18 MB rather than 25 MB if the message absolutely has to arrive. And remember the recipient's limit matters too: sending 24 MB to an Outlook.com address that caps at 20 MB will fail on their end, not yours.
The short answers people ask for most.

Drop it above — the 25 MB target is already selected. Papayacut works out the bitrate your clip's length allows, encodes, then checks the result and tries again if it came out over.
No. Compression runs inside your browser with WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, stored or kept after you download.
Short clips usually survive well. Longer ones have to spread the same budget over more seconds, so the picture softens — dropping the resolution keeps it sharp rather than blocky. Trimming first is the single best way to protect quality.
No account, no email, no card, and no watermark on the result.
