Compress video to 50MB

50MB is larger than email limits but still enforced by many CMS, LMS, and talent portals. FitToMB locks in the bitrate so you meet the exact cap without guesswork.

Stay under strict 50MB caps

Many LMS, HR, and CMS platforms cap uploads at 50MB-bigger than email limits but still easy to hit. FitToMB sets the bitrate for you so training clips, product tours, and pitch videos all land under the limit. If you need to understand inbox caps too, keep the email attachment limit guide handy.

Steps to compress a video to 50MB

  1. Upload your source file. We accept MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM straight from desktop or mobile.
  2. Select the 50MB preset. The size lock keeps the encode honest; customize if your portal needs 45MB or another exact target.
  3. Dial in quality. Leave it at 1080p for short explainers, or pick 720p when the runtime stretches.
  4. Compress & download. Two-pass encoding delivers a 50MB MP4 ready for any upload form.

Need a format refresher? The MP4 compression guide explains when to export H.264 vs HEVC before you upload. Planning a long recording? Run the Video Bitrate Calculator to sanity-check runtime.

Too big? Drop to the 25MB preset for inbox-friendly sharing.
Need more? Step up to the 75MB or 100MB workflows when portals loosen the limits.
Long-form or 4K? Use the 500MB preset to keep extended sessions crisp.
Switching formats? The MKV and WebM guides show how to keep quality while hitting exact MB targets.

Will your video fit at 50MB?

Use these guardrails before you hit export-aiming slightly under avoids upload failures.

Clip length Suggested resolution Target video bitrate Why it works
< 3 minutes 1080p @ 30 fps ~4,500 kbps Keeps detail for product demos and executive intros.
3-6 minutes 1080p @ 24 fps ~3,000 kbps Drop the frame rate to stretch longer walk-throughs.
6-10 minutes 720p @ 30 fps ~2,200 kbps Best for training clips that need extra runtime.
> 10 minutes 720p @ 24 fps ~1,800 kbps Consider splitting chapters or switching to HEVC.

FAQ

How does FitToMB guarantee 50MB?

We calculate the bitrate needed for a 50MB export and run a two-pass encode. The second pass checks the file size and adjusts so the final MP4 stays under the threshold.

What if my platform only allows 45MB?

Type 45 into the target size box or use the bitrate slider. The same workflow applies-it simply recalculates the bitrate for your new goal.

Will the video stay in HD?

Clips under ~6 minutes can usually stay in 1080p H.264. For longer recordings, switch to 720p or HEVC/AV1 so you keep detail without over-shooting the limit.

Can I do this from my phone?

Yes. Upload from Safari or Chrome on iOS/Android and download the finished MP4 right away-no app install.
