Blurry video to recipients when sending via email safari on iPad

I used the record my screen functionality on my iPad Pro,12.9 3rd gen. I then send the 15 second short video with out sound to a email recipient via safari email. Looking at the recipients email from me is the video, but is very blurry. How can I send a clear video? The video is super clear as it is stored in my photos on my iPad. I am assuming it is compressing the video as it would if it was too large, but it is a short video without sound but can’t bi that big.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell

Video clips are huge - usually much larger than many email servers will accept. When sharing video, you would better share a link to a website.


Alternatively, you can selectively share photos and videos via iCloud.

When you tried to attach it did you perhaps see an option to choose the size of the video?

If you did and you choose a smaller size you will end up with a pixelated video.


as Lotus said, the best way to share video clips is via icloud or some other sort of file sharing program (one drive also works good)


most email providers max out at 15-30 megs for an attachment and videos can easily exceed that
