Send a large video from your iPhone
Messages, WhatsApp and email all shrink or refuse long videos. Upload yours here from Safari, up to 3 GB, and send a link instead. The person you send it to gets the original, full-quality video. No app, no account.
No files selected.
"Also delete if untouched" is an extra safety net on top of the expiry above, not a replacement for it — whichever condition is met first deletes the file. A file that keeps getting downloaded still goes at its expiry time either way.
More than one file selected — they'll each still get their own link, plus one combined link to download all of them at once as a .zip.
How to send it
- Tap Choose files, then Photo Library, and pick the video. You can pick several.
- Choose how long the link lasts and, if you like, a download limit or password.
- Tap Upload and keep Safari open until it finishes. If the upload is interrupted, it picks up where it left off.
- Tap Copy and paste the link into Messages, WhatsApp, Mail or anywhere else.
How long a video fits?
| iPhone video setting (HEVC) | About per minute | Fits in 3 GB |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p at 30 fps | 60 MB | About 50 minutes |
| 4K at 30 fps | 170 MB | About 15 minutes |
| 4K at 60 fps | 400 MB | About 7 minutes |
Per-minute sizes are the approximate figures Apple lists in Settings → Camera → Record Video. Longer? Split the clip, or create a free account for Encrypted Share, which allows up to 5 GB per file.
Why not just use Messages or WhatsApp?
iMessage stops at about 100 MB and compresses videos, which is only a minute and a half of 1080p. WhatsApp compresses normal video sends and caps them at about 16 MB. See the iMessage limit and WhatsApp limit for details.
