In today's digital era, sharing video invitations via WhatsApp has become a popular choice for inviting loved ones to special occasions. However, WhatsApp's file size limitations often necessitate video compression, which can compromise quality if not done correctly. Fear not!
Discover the art of preserving video quality while compressing for WhatsApp in our comprehensive guide.
We'll lead you through utilizing an online video compression tool, a reliable method, to retain your videos' beauty while conquering WhatsApp's size constraints. Elevate your video sharing experience and ensure each shared moment is unforgettable!
Let's explore a scenario you may find all too familiar. Imagine this: after dedicating hours of effort and anticipation, you've meticulously created a captivating video invitation showcasing your event.
Perhaps it's an animated graduation barbeque in your backyard, one of our adaptable templates, commemorating your academic milestones. Alternatively, it could be a gender reveal announcement, brimming with excitement to share with cherished ones.
The video's high-definition quality is impeccable. The colours burst with vibrancy, the text is crisply defined, and every detail aligns perfectly with your vision.
The Dilemma: Captivating Video Invitation, Underwhelming Quality on WhatsApp
With giddy anticipation, you fire off a test to a friend on WhatsApp, fully expecting an exuberant reply.
However, what you receive in return is a mere text: "The video is lovely, but the quality... YIKES!"
Instantly, your excitement deflates like a balloon at a porcupine party, leaving behind a tangled mess of disappointment. You reluctantly revisit the video, only to find it transformed from a masterpiece to a pixelated Picasso, with your painstakingly crafted details resembling a blurry Rorschach test.
The Villain: WhatsApp's File Size Restriction The perpetrator responsible for this low quality!
WhatsApp's stringent file size restriction for media sharing. Capped at a mere 16 MB, it allows for only approximately 90 seconds of high-definition video or a few minutes of standard-definition footage to be transmitted.
Fortunately, there exists a straightforward and efficient remedy: video compression. Here are 3 simple steps to help you overcome this dilemma. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Choose the Right Compression Tool
When compressing your digital invitation, selecting a reliable online compression tool is crucial. There are paid options like Clipchamp, HandBrake, or Online UniConverter that support popular video formats like MP4, MOV, or AVI. If you’re on a budget then there are also free online video compressors such as VideoSmaller, FlexClip and others.
We will use VideoSmaller to demonstrate how to compress this graduation video invitation or any of our range of animated invites. VideoSmaller can shrink video file sizes effortlessly, compressing them without sacrificing quality. Trim down your video files and ensure they occupy less space while retaining their original quality.
Step 2: Upload Your Video to the Compression Tool
Click on the ‘Browse’ button which will display files on your device. Locate your digital invitation file and click on ‘Open’. Click on the box next to ‘Use low compression level (best quality)’.
You can also choose to scale or reduce the video width, but we will leave it as is. Now click on the blue ‘Upload Video’ which will commence the compression process. This will take about a minute or more, depending on the file size and your internet connection. Upon completion you will be provided with a link to download your file. In this example our file has been reduced by 58%.
Step 3: Review and Share Your Compressed Video
Before sharing, ensure the compressed video meets your quality standards by reviewing it. We suggest you send it to a friend or family member to make sure the video invitation looks great down their end before you send it on mass to all your guests. If satisfied, share your beautifully compressed digital invitation directly via WhatsApp with your friends and family. Here’s how:
3.1 Open WhatsApp and navigate to the chat or group you want to send the invite to.
3.2 Tap the attachment icon and select "Gallery" or "Video."
3.3 Choose the compressed video invite from your gallery.
3.4 Add a personalized message and hit send to share your high-quality video invite. That’s it! Here's a quick video demo.
