LMS upload limits
Canvas defaults to a 500MB file limit but instructors and Blackboard/Moodle often set far lower caps, and slow campus uploads time out on big files. Compressing to ~50MB makes submission fast and dependable.
Frequently asked questions
- My assignment video won't upload — what size should it be?
- Check the assignment's stated limit; when in doubt, compress to under 50MB. Smaller files upload faster and are far less likely to time out before the deadline.
- Is my video private with this tool?
- Yes. It's processed entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded to any server, which matters for coursework you don't want exposed.
