Download only what you have the right to use. Files stay on BasePic for one hour.
How it works
- Upload your video
Tap Upload video and pick an MP4, MOV, WebM or another video, up to 2 GB.
- Check the size
The video editor opens on Size with 50 MB already picked. You can trim or crop the video first, or pick another size.
- Save and download
Tap Save & get link. The smaller video gets its own link and a Download button.
When a site says 50 MB
Some upload forms, school and work portals and chat apps take videos only up to 50 MB, while a few minutes from a phone camera is often much more. BasePic brings the video under the limit.
How long a video fits in 50 MB
For a 1080p phone video at 30 frames per second with sound, BasePic keeps 1080p for up to 1 min 37 s, 720p up to 3 min 30 s, 540p up to 6 min 5 s, 480p up to 7 min 31 s and 360p up to 13 min 5 s. Longer videos, up to 15 minutes, get 240p.
Never over 50 MB
BasePic leaves 6 % of the room for the MP4 file itself, then measures the saved video. If it is still too big, it makes it again with less data per second. If even that does not fit, you get a message instead of a file that is too big.
Trim and crop in the same place
Before you save, cut the part you need with Trim or crop to 9:16 with Crop. A shorter video keeps a higher resolution in the same 50 MB.
