ShareUrFiles

Send a long video on WhatsApp with no compression and no limit

In short

WhatsApp compresses videos sent from the gallery and rejects documents over 2 GB. To keep the original quality or go past 2 GB, drop the video on ShareUrFiles and send the link in WhatsApp: your contact downloads it straight from your phone, with no compression and no size limit.

Step by step

  1. Open ShareUrFiles on your phone

    Go to shareurfiles.com/send in your browser and pick the video from your gallery or files.

  2. Create the link

    Tap Create link, then Copy.

  3. Send the link in WhatsApp

    Paste it into the chat. Keep the page open, screen on, while your contact downloads.

WhatsApp's limits

  • Videos sent as photo or video are compressed: they lose sharpness.
  • Sent as a document, they keep their quality, but a document can't exceed 2 GB.
  • A 4K video of a few minutes can already exceed 2 GB.

What ShareUrFiles changes

The video goes from your phone to your contact's over a direct, encrypted connection. It isn't compressed, isn't stored on a server, and its size isn't limited.

To make sure the transfer finishes

  • Stay on the ShareUrFiles page until the end: if you close it, the transfer stops.
  • Keep the screen from locking during a very large transfer.
  • From Basic, the download resumes on its own if the connection drops.
