Notion has one of the strictest free-tier file limits of any productivity tool: 5 MB per file on the Free plan. Paid plans (Plus, Business, Enterprise) raise this to 5 GB.
For free-tier users, fitting video into 5 MB requires significant compression. VidCrush can compress a 1-minute clip to under 5 MB at 480p — enough for demos, tutorials, and quick updates embedded directly in Notion pages.
Drag and drop or click to upload. VidCrush accepts MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, and 20+ formats up to 500 MB.
For Notion Free, set target to 5 MB. For paid plans, choose based on your needs — 50–100 MB gives excellent quality.
Download your compressed MP4 and use /video or drag-and-drop to embed it directly in any Notion page.
5 MB is extremely tight. Here's what you can realistically fit:
For longer videos on free Notion, consider embedding a YouTube or Loom link instead. For short demos and tutorials, VidCrush compression works perfectly.
On Plus ($10/month), Business ($18/month), and Enterprise plans, the limit jumps to 5 GB per file. This is generous enough for most videos without compression. However, compressing still helps:
Free plan: Target 4.5 MB (safety margin), 480p, VidCrush will optimize bitrate automatically.
Paid plans: 1080p at 50–100 MB gives excellent quality for embedded videos.
Format: MP4 H.264 — plays inline in Notion on all platforms.
Notion Free: 5 MB per file. Plus, Business, and Enterprise plans: 5 GB per file. This applies to all file types, including videos, images, and documents.
Yes, two ways: (1) Upload a compressed video file under 5 MB directly, or (2) paste a YouTube, Loom, or Vimeo link — Notion embeds these as players with no size limit.
At 480p with moderate motion: about 20–30 seconds. At 360p: up to 45–60 seconds. At 720p: only about 10–15 seconds. VidCrush optimizes quality within your target size.
No. Notion stores and serves files as-is. Whatever you upload is what viewers see. Pre-compressing with VidCrush ensures the best quality within Notion's size constraints.
MP4 with H.264 codec plays inline in Notion on desktop, web, and mobile. Other formats may require downloading. VidCrush outputs H.264 MP4 by default.
For free-plan users with videos longer than 30 seconds: embed YouTube/Loom links. For short clips (demos, tutorials, quick updates) under 30 seconds: upload directly for a seamless inline experience.
Screen recordings compress exceptionally well because most of the frame is static. A 2-minute screen recording at 1080p can compress from 100 MB to under 5 MB at 480p with VidCrush — still perfectly readable for UI demos.
Embedded videos only load when scrolled into view (lazy loading). A well-compressed 5 MB video adds negligible load time. Multiple large videos (50+ MB each) can slow down pages on mobile.
VidCrush is a free online video compressor optimized for {platform_name}. {limit_text} VidCrush automatically compresses your video to fit — just select "{platform_name}" as your target. No signup, no watermark, output is always MP4 H.264.
