WHY THIS ONE

Hit upload caps without guessing render settings

Exporting at arbitrary bitrates causes oversized files that fail Discord or email limits, or low bitrates that turn footage into blocky pixel soup.

Bi-Directional Calculation

Solve for total file size given a target bitrate, or solve for the exact video bitrate needed to stay under 25 MB.

Codec Efficiency Standards

Includes efficiency baselines for H.264, HEVC (H.265), and AV1 so you pick the right encoder.

Quick Platform Presets

One-click presets for Discord limits (25 MB), email attachments, and YouTube recommended upload bitrates.

The studio behind this tool

One free account. Six studios.

Every free tool on this page is cut from PrismPoster itself — six studios that share one credit wallet, one library, and one timeline editor. Where the free tool stops, the studios keep going.

Omni Studio

Connect images, video, and music on one node canvas and build a piece across mediums without leaving the flow.

Image Studio

Generate pictures from prompts or references, then refine them in place with Magic Edit — remove objects, retouch, upscale.

Video Studio

Turn a prompt or a still image into a moving clip, in vertical or widescreen for wherever it ships.

Character Studio

Design a character once and reuse them consistently — the same face in new images, scenes, and clips.

Storyboard

Plan a video scene by scene, then send each shot to the studios to render.

Music Studio

Write full tracks with vocals or instrumentals for your videos and streams.

Start free

200 credits to start — one-time, no card

  • New accounts start with a one-time grant of 200 credits, not a trial that expires.
  • Your first video renders free at 720p, and one 10-second extension of it is free too — both on top of the credits.
  • Everything you make lands in your library, ready for the timeline editor.
