Why compress before sharing in Slack?
Slack swallows large files, but a heavy video stalls the upload, previews sluggishly, and sits in your workspace storage forever. A 50 MB encode of a screen recording looks identical in a channel thread — and uploads in seconds instead of minutes.
Recording a demo or bug report? Compress it here first, then drop the file straight into the channel. Your teammates on slow connections will thank you.

FAQ
How do I compress a video for Slack?
Drop your video above, keep the 50 MB target (or type any size), and hit Compress. VidSizer solves the exact bitrate for your clip and verifies the output lands under your target.
Does Slack recompress uploaded videos?
Slack generates previews but keeps your uploaded file as-is, so the quality you encode is the quality your team downloads. That's exactly why compressing first — with full control — beats letting a chat app decide for you.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. No upload, no account, no watermark.
