Why different sizes for same video clip?
« on: July 16, 2025, 04:01:48 PM »
I have a 15 second video clip on my iPhone 12 to send to folks. Its file size shows as 17 MB on my iPhone which I can add to text. But it shows as 27MB as an email attachment which is too large to send. Why the difference?

Don’t know about the why of size differences. But you might be able to send via iCloud or Mail Drop. Dropbox is also a (free trial) solution.
