👋 Hi Product Hunters, I'm here today with a FREE tool I've built to help out with ever-growing video file sizes.🛠 The main inspiration for building TinyVid came from trying to share gameplay footage over Discord. For example, instant replay files are usually 5 minutes long and up to 2GB in size. Typically, the interesting parts are at the end and Discord Free only allows you to upload max 8MB at a time - soooo frustrating! 😤 I could not find any free tool that would quickly allow me to trim and compress 🗜️ my video while showing me a preview and allowing me to select the file size I need. (Hey, if you know one, please link it in the comments below!) Video file size limits are part and parcel of today's freemium services. They are a balance between having the service for free or not having it at all. We’ve included some helpful presets like Discord Free, Discord Nitro, WhatsApp - what preset sizes would you like to see? We've used TinyVid as an internal tool at @Kamua where we've discovered some useful scenarios, like sending videos via WhatsApp, which has a 64MB limit. Today, we're amped to share it with you too! Other useful things that are not currently available but will be (especially if you agree): 📌 Support for previewing more file types (mp4 / mov and webm for now) 📌 Support for encoding H265 📌 Support for encoding AV1 📌 Support for hardware encoding (Nvidia NVENC) on Windows 📌 A queue for batching file processing (especially useful when you're trying to archive some footage for storage) Let me know what other things you would find useful! We hope our users at Kamua will find this useful for pre-selecting the clips they want to crop and auto-generate captions for in our web tools, before uploading. I’ll be here all day along with my colleagues @eek and @prcary to answer any questions you might have. Thank you for stopping by!

@kamua Congratulations on the launch! If you could build a similar solution for documents, Then you could be solving this need gap - 'Reduce document file size to specific size' posted on my problem validation platform - https://needgap.com/problems/196....

This app is so handy. As a video editor, you just can't get decent quality video out of Adobe Premiere at low file sizes. This will be my go-to app from now on, when having to deliver high quality video at impossibly low file sizes.

Thanks @jimh! We have some automation options planned: batching files and watching a folder for new videos to automatically process. Would you find that useful?

@stefangab95 Definitely! Batch processing and watch folders would be amazing. A lot of the time I have to deliver in multiple aspect ratios, so queueing them up or dragging into a folder would be super useful! I'm actually excited now haha 🤩
