VidCompress / LinkedIn post
LinkedIn caps native video at 5 GB but soft-limits anything bigger in practice. A compact MP4 uploads reliably and plays smoothly in the feed.
Or jump straight to a destination:
LinkedIn allows native video up to 5 GB and 15 minutes, but in practice large files stall on upload and play back unevenly in the feed. For professional content, a clean, fast-loading clip matters more than a giant master.
This page targets a compact MP4 that uploads reliably and plays smoothly for your network. Files under 300 MB are compressed locally in your browser, so confidential or pre-launch footage never leaves your device.
Add your video
Drop in the clip for your post. MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, and WMV all work.
Pick a target
Use the Social preset for a balanced size, or set a custom target for a specific upload size.
Compress privately
VidCompress re-encodes in your browser — nothing is uploaded for files under 300 MB.
Post to LinkedIn
Download the MP4 and upload it to your post. It loads fast and plays cleanly in the feed.
What is the LinkedIn video limit?
Native posts allow up to 5 GB and around 10–15 minutes, but compact files upload and play far more reliably.
Will compression keep my video professional-looking?
Yes. VidCompress holds resolution and sharpness high; the file is smaller but looks clean in the feed.
Is confidential footage safe?
For files under 300 MB, compression happens entirely in your browser — the clip is never uploaded to us.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in any modern browser, including on mobile.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan compresses up to 300 MB locally with no signup or watermark.
