25 MB is Gmail's attachment limit and the most common ceiling in business email.
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.
The short answers people ask for most.
Drop the file above with 25 MB already selected. Papayacut divides the size budget across the clip's length to pick a bitrate, encodes, then measures the result and re-encodes once if it landed over.
Roughly: about 82 seconds at 2.5 Mbps (crisp 1080p), or around 256 seconds at 800 kbps (watchable 480p). Past that, trim the clip rather than crushing the bitrate.
No. Compression runs inside your browser with WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, stored or kept after you download.
Papayacut checks the finished file. If it is above 25 MB it lowers the bitrate by the measured overshoot and encodes once more, so what you download actually fits.
No account, no email, no card, and no watermark on the result.
