How to reduce video file size in four simple steps

  1. Step 1: Upload your video

    Log in to your Vimeo account and upload your file in almost any format. If you’ve used a third-party editing tool like Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple Final Cut Pro, adjust compression-related settings like target file size and output bitrate before uploading the file to Vimeo for more granular control.

  2. Step 2: Edit if needed

    Use Vimeo’s built-in video editor and AI tools to trim, cut, and clean up your video before finalizing it.

  3. Step 3: Choose your compression settings

    Vimeo automatically transcodes your video on upload. When you’re ready to download, pick your target resolution from 240p up to 1080p, and Vimeo will show you an estimated file size before you commit.

  4. Step 4: Download or share

    Download your compressed MP4 or share it directly via a link (private or not), embed, or your Vimeo video library.
