Conservative MP4 caps for Email, WhatsApp, and Discord
Web Clip Optimizer
Choose Email, WhatsApp, or Discord, then export a compact MP4 within ClipShift's conservative cap. Actual service or account limits can differ. GIF remains a separate export when an animated image is needed.
What you can make
- Three conservative caps
ClipShift caps MP4 under 7 MB for Email, 16 MB for WhatsApp, or 20 MB for Discord. Actual service or account limits can differ.
- Compatible MP4 output
Each destination MP4 is H.264, muted, and checked before it is offered for sharing.
- Trim, crop, and resize
Keep the useful moment and remove wasted pixels.
- Local processing
Optimize the source locally without uploading it to a separate video service.
Requirements
- Input
- MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV
Most browser-playable video files work.
- Output
- Muted H.264 MP4 or GIF
MP4 is capped by the selected destination; GIF is a separate image-only export.
- Best use
- Email, WhatsApp, Discord
Choose the destination Agent before exporting an MP4; the cap is conservative, not a claim of every account's limit.
- Common edits
- Trim, crop, frame rate, output format
Use the smallest change that keeps the clip readable.
How it works
- Upload the source clip
Choose the video you want to send or share.
- Trim to the useful moment
Keep only the part that needs to be shared.
- Choose a destination Agent
Choose Email, WhatsApp, or Discord for MP4. Choose GIF only when the destination needs an animated image.
- Export and share
Download the checked MP4 and share it yourself; ClipShift does not post to another service.
FAQ
What are ClipShift's MP4 caps?
ClipShift caps MP4 under 7 MB for Email, 16 MB for WhatsApp, or 20 MB for Discord. These are conservative caps, not a claim of every service or account's maximum; actual limits can differ.
What happens if the video cannot fit the limit?
The optimizer tries its bounded compression options. If none can meet the selected limit, it reports failure instead of returning an oversized MP4.
Does ClipShift post to Email, WhatsApp, or Discord?
No. Download the checked MP4 and share it yourself. Your source clip stays private while you trim and export it.
Should I use MP4 or GIF?
Choose MP4 for Email, WhatsApp, or Discord. Use GIF only when your destination specifically needs an animated image.
