How to send a long iPhone video by email

Most email services stop attachments at 20 to 25 MB, and a minute of iPhone video is often over 100 MB. Trim the video to the part you need, then compress it to under 25 MB with “Under a size”, and it will attach to Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo.

Start step 1: Trim video

Each step passes your file to the next, so you only add it once. Nothing is uploaded.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Trim it to the part that matters

    Drag the start and end to keep only what you want to send. Every second you cut makes the next step easier and the quality better.

  2. 2

    Compress it to under 25 MB

    Choose “Under a size”, then press Email (25 MB). FileFleet picks the quality, and if it has to, a smaller picture size, so the video fits. For Outlook, which allows 20 MB, type 20 instead.

Questions

Why not just let my iPhone send it?

Mail on the iPhone offers Mail Drop for large attachments, which uploads the video to iCloud and sends a link that expires after 30 days. Compressing it first sends the video itself, which works with any email app and never expires.

Will it still look good?

For a minute or two of video, 25 MB is enough for a clear picture on a phone or laptop. For longer videos, trim more, or send it in two parts.
