Video Target Size

Compress videos to exact file sizes

Compress videos to target-friendly sizes so uploads meet strict limits with fewer retries. FFmpeg integration keeps export quality balanced while producing consistent output sizes.

What it does

  • Exact file size targeting
  • Two-pass encoding for accuracy
  • One-time FFmpeg install
  • Fast H.264/AAC processing

How to use it

  1. Install FFmpeg once from this Droplet's page. It uses Homebrew and the page walks you through it if Homebrew is missing.
  2. Drop a video and give it the size you need. Two-pass H.264 and AAC encoding lands on the target instead of near it.

Where it shows up

  • File action

Workflows

Under the upload limit, first try

A screen recording that is a few megabytes over a chat app's limit becomes one that is under it, without guessing at a bitrate and re-exporting.

Tips

  • Two passes take longer than one, and that is the point: a single pass hits the size by luck.
  • Its FFmpeg install is also what gives the Converter Droplet MP3 output.
