Stop WhatsApp from Ruining Quality

Ever notice how your 4K video looks pixelated when you send it on WhatsApp? That's because WhatsApp's built-in compressor is extremely aggressive.

It crunches videos down to very low bitrates to save server space. The solution? Compress it yourself first.

By using Cubix to compress your video to a size WhatsApp accepts (like 16MB or 64MB) with professional encoders (H.264), you preserve sharpness and colors that WhatsApp would otherwise destroy.

Status vs Chat Videos

For Status Updates

Strict 30-second limit. We recommend cropping your video to 30s clips and compressing to 720p for the best balance of speed and quality.

For Sending to Friends

Aim for under 16MB if you want it to auto-play. If quality matters more, target 64MB.

WhatsApp video compressor FAQ

Answers about WhatsApp limits, quality, and supported formats.

What is the size limit for WhatsApp videos?+
For videos sent as media (that play in chat), the limit is approx. 16MB. For videos sent as documents, you can go up to 2GB, but they won't play automatically.
How to send high quality full videos on WhatsApp?+
To keep quality high, you should compress the video to under 64MB (or 16MB for instant loading) using the 'WhatsApp' preset, which optimizes bitrate without destroying details.
Why is my WhatsApp Status blurry?+
WhatsApp aggressively compresses Status updates. To fix this, pre-compress your video to under 10MB and ensure it's in MP4 format before uploading.
Can I send videos longer than 3 minutes?+
Yes, but you need to compress them first. Lowering the resolution to 480p or 720p allows you to send much longer videos within the file size limits.
Does this tool work for WhatsApp Web?+
Yes! You can compress videos on your computer using this tool, then drag and drop them into WhatsApp Web.
