Can I compress a video directly inside Canva?

Canva lets you choose MP4 Video and select specific pages, but it does not offer a target file size or bitrate slider. Compressing the downloaded MP4 in your browser gives you exact control.

How do I make a Canva video smaller for email?

Download the MP4 from Canva, then use the tool on this page and select Under 25 MB. If the video is long, lowering the resolution to 720p or 480p helps it fit.

Is my Canva video uploaded when I compress it here?

No. Compression runs locally in your browser using your device's video encoder, so the file never leaves your phone or computer.

How to Compress Video in Canva (Download & Browser)

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Canva does not have a dedicated video compressor slider, so the best way to shrink a Canva video is to download it as an MP4 and compress the file afterward. You can also shorten the clip or remove unused pages before downloading. Once you have the MP4, use the free tool on this page to target 10 MB, 25 MB, or a smaller quality level in your browser.
