Why the 50MB limit exists
Telegram's in-chat video compression reduces quality noticeably. Sending as a file avoids that, and compressing to ~50MB keeps downloads fast for recipients without sacrificing visible quality for typical clips.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I stop Telegram from compressing my video?
- Send it as a file (paperclip → File) instead of as media. Compress it to your desired size first with this tool, since file-mode skips Telegram's encoder entirely.
