About 10MB Video Compression for Discord
Discord’s free plan caps uploads at 10MB per file, which rules out most raw phone recordings. This tool re-encodes your video right in the browser, automatically balancing resolution, bitrate and frame rate until the result fits under 10MB. Nothing is uploaded to a server — the file never leaves your device. Whether you are optimizing for the NBN, preparing myGov submissions, or sharing files across Australia's vast distances, this tool keeps your files light and quick to transfer — even on regional, fixed-wireless, and satellite connections, with no upload required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Discord’s file size limit?
Discord’s free plan allows uploads up to 10MB per file. Nitro Classic raises the limit to 50MB and full Nitro to 500MB. This tool targets the free 10MB limit by default.
Why won’t my video upload to Discord?
Almost always because the file exceeds the 10MB free-tier limit. Compress it here first, then attach the smaller result.
How long can a 10MB video be?
Roughly 5–10 minutes at 480p or 1–2 minutes at 720p, depending on how much motion the clip contains. The compressor picks the highest bitrate that still fits.
Does Discord recompress videos?
Discord may stream some uploads through its own player, but the 10MB limit applies to the original file you attach — so compress before sending.
