A sensible place to start
The tool starts at 49MB, giving the finished MP4 a small margin below 50MB.
The compressor above is preconfigured for this use case. Actual results still depend on the source codec, motion and detail.
Why it works
Spend fewer bits, deliberately
A 50MB budget can produce good results for short HD clips. Duration still matters: the same size spread across ten minutes has less detail per second than across one minute.

Frequently asked questions
Is 50MB compression private?
Yes. Standard compression runs inside your browser. The video file is not sent to a VideoShrink server.
Will the output size be exact?
Target-size mode aims slightly below your limit, but container overhead and unusual source files can make the final size vary.
Why can compression take a while?
Encoding is demanding work. Duration, resolution, device speed and browser memory all affect processing time.
