Send Large Videos from Android in Full Quality

Modern Android phones record in Full HD or 4K at high bitrates, so a single clip can be hundreds of megabytes or several gigabytes. Email services usually cap attachments at a few tens of megabytes, and messaging apps commonly compress video to make it smaller. The result is either an error message or a blurry copy.

Share Large Video Files lets you send up to 20 GB per transfer from Chrome or any modern Android browser, with no compression.

1. Open Chrome (or another modern browser) and go to sharelargefilesfree.com.
2. Tap to add files. Android will show a picker: choose your video from Photos, Gallery, Files or your camera folder (often called DCIM/Camera).
3. Add more clips if you like, up to 1000 files in one transfer.
4. Choose Link for a shareable URL, or Email to send to recipients directly (you will confirm your email with a 6-digit code).
5. Start the upload and keep the browser tab open and the screen on until it completes.
6. Tap share to send the link through the Android share sheet, or show the QR code to someone nearby.

• Open the Files app (sometimes called My Files or Files by Google) and look under Videos or DCIM.
• If the video is only in a cloud photo library, download it to the device first so the browser can read the full-quality file.
• Some gallery apps offer a share option that sends a smaller copy. Picking the file from the Files app avoids this.

We do not re-encode or compress uploads. Your recipient downloads the same file you recorded, byte for byte, whether they are on an iPhone, a Windows PC, a Mac or another Android phone. They do not need an account or an app, just a browser.

For very large files, such as 4K clips, see our guide on sending 4K video. If you are comparing chat apps, the file size limits reference shows typical limits for WhatsApp, Telegram and others.

• Large uploads can use a lot of mobile data. Connect to Wi-Fi if you can.
• Uploads are sent in chunks, and short connection drops are retried automatically while the tab stays open. Closing or reloading the tab will stop the upload.
• Battery savers can put background tabs to sleep, so keep the browser in the foreground for long uploads.

After sending, the link lasts 1 day. You can extend it, delete it early, resend emails or check download counts on the Transfers page. On an iPhone? See the iPhone guide.

Sharing a family video or a team recording with a group is easy from Android:

1. Upload once and choose Link.
2. Paste the link into a group chat, or tap share and pick several contacts.
3. Everyone downloads the same original file from the same link, so you do not have to upload it again for each person.

If you would rather send by email, choose Email and add each recipient. After verifying your address with the 6-digit code, each person receives an email with the download link. You can resend the email from the Transfers page if someone cannot find it.

For private videos, add a password and share it separately, or switch on delete after first download when only one person should receive the file. Keep in mind that a single-download link cannot be shared with a group, because it is removed once the first person downloads it.

Need to send something other than video? Any file type works, including photos, documents and ZIP archives, so you can also use it when an email attachment is too large.
