WeChat cannot send videos over 25MB? Three tips to fix it

As we all know, WeChat has a limit on the size of videos that can be sent. If your video exceeds 25M, you will definitely see the following prompt. So the question is, what should I do if the video I want to send really exceeds 25M? Is it really impossible to send it? Today, the editor will share with you three sets of tips to teach you how to easily bypass the WeChat limit.

The video I sent exceeds the WeChat limit, what should I do?

Method 1. If the video size does not exceed 100M, you can try this

First, find the video you want to send, right-click and select WinRAR or other compression software on your computer to compress the video. Then send the packaged file through WeChat to bypass the 25MB limit.

Pack videos into RAR to easily bypass the 25MB limit

This trick actually uses a hidden setting of WeChat. When sending files, videos cannot exceed 25MB and files cannot exceed 100MB. Therefore, as long as the video is directly packaged into a file, the 25MB limit can be successfully bypassed. However, since the video is packaged, it will be very troublesome to preview it on the mobile phone. This method is actually more suitable for video transmission.

Method 2. Change the extension to .m4v

Open the resource manager, find the video file you want to send, and then right-click to change the extension to ".m4v". At this time, the system may prompt that changing the extension will make the file unusable, etc., ignore it. After the modification is completed, follow the normal steps and drag it to WeChat to send it.

Forcefully change the extension to ".m4v". As for any prompts that pop up in the system, ignore them!

Although it is also a video format, m4v can easily bypass the 25M limit

.m4v is also a video format, and is used for H.264 encoding like .mp4. This format may be unfamiliar to many friends, but it is actually a video format commonly used in Apple devices. In other words, the reason why the video with the modified extension can break the 25M limit is probably because WeChat "turns a blind eye" to Apple devices.

No matter what the reason is, after changing to .m4v, the original video can easily break the 25M limit. And because there is no secondary packaging, the other party can directly click to preview after receiving it, which is more suitable for mobile phone use than the previous one.

Method 3. Send it to yourself first on your mobile phone

If your video is saved on your phone, you can also send it to the "File Transfer Assistant" first, and then forward it to your friends. During this process, WeChat will automatically compress the original video, so when you forward it again, the size will not be as large as before. Generally speaking, a video of about 58MB can be reduced by about 10 times after automatic compression by WeChat, and basically meets the 25MB upper limit. And because it is sent in MP4, preview images and play buttons are also readily available, which is more in line with everyone's usage habits. It's just that the compressed video will have lower quality than the original video, and is mainly used in some occasions where the picture requirements are not high.

Final Thoughts

The above are some tips to bypass sending videos larger than 25M on WeChat. In addition, some people have said that you can bypass it in disguise by using WeChat notes, but I personally think that sending notes is actually no different from video packaging in principle, and the operation is more troublesome, so it is not recommended. Well, these are the tips I want to share with you today, have you learned them?
