Send a video that's too big for email

Email attachments cap out around 25 MB, so a phone clip is often too large to send. Upload it here instead and share a link that opens with a built-in player: no download, no bounced message.

How to send it as a link

  1. See why email rejects it

    Gmail and Outlook both cap attachments at 25 MB as of mid-2026, and the receiving server can bounce an even smaller message. A minute of phone video clears that easily, so the email fails. A link sidesteps the cap because the file never travels with the message.

  2. Upload the video

    Drop your video onto the box above. Common formats like MP4 and MOV get their own page with an in-browser player. Sign in with a free account to manage the link later; larger files upload on a paid plan.

  3. Share the link and QR code

    Copy the link into your email, message, or caption. Whoever opens it watches the video right in their browser (nothing to download), and every link comes with a QR code so it opens from a phone scan.

Why a link beats an attachment

Frequently asked questions

What's the real size limit for email attachments?
Gmail and Outlook both cap attachments at about 25 MB as of mid-2026, and some mail servers allow even less. Because a link only adds a short URL to your message, the video's size no longer decides whether the email goes through.
Is uploading a big video free?
You can upload and share videos for free, and every link comes with a browser player and a QR code at no cost. Very large files need a paid plan, which raises the size you can upload. We won't pretend huge uploads are free.
Does the person I send it to need an account?
No. Anyone with the link can open the page and play the video in their browser. No account, app, or download is required to watch.
How long does the link stay up?
Free links stay live for 30 days. On paid plans your links never expire, so a video you shared months ago still plays at the same address.
Can I keep the video private?
Yes. On a paid plan you can put a password on the link, so only the people you give the password to can open the page and watch.
