let-me-send-pls

Fixes "file too large" so you can just send it. A desktop app that splits videos to fit Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, and other chat upload limits.

Features

• Platform-aware splitting — select Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp and the correct size limit is applied automatically
• Drag & drop — drop a video file onto the window or click to browse
• Visual previews — square thumbnail previews of each resulting part
• Reveal in file browser — click the folder icon on any part to open it in Finder / Files / Explorer
• Cross-platform — runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows
• Extensible — designed so new platforms and file types can be added easily
