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.For an upload limit stated in KB or MB, confirm the portal’s own rule and inspect the downloaded file size. Do not assume a percentage reduction meets that limit. Preserve the original if document text, signatures or forms must remain usable.
How to Compress a Video to 8MB, 25MB, or Any Size
Add your video
Drop in an MP4, WebM or MOV file. H.264 MP4 gives the smoothest playback in Discord.
Keep the Discord 10MB preset
The preset is already selected when the page loads. Switch to Custom if you need a different cap.
Compress and send to Discord
Download the smaller file and attach it in any server or DM.
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.
Is my video uploaded to a server when I compress it?
No. The compression runs entirely in your browser using your device's processor, so the video never leaves your computer or phone. This means it works even on slow or unstable connections, and your files remain private. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and continue compressing.
What video formats can I compress to under 10MB?
The tool accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI and MKV files, including mobile recordings from iPhone (HEVC/H.264) and Android phones. The output is delivered as MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, the most widely compatible format for WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and email attachments.
Will compressing to 10MB make my video look blurry?
Some quality loss is unavoidable at 10MB, but the tool keeps it to a minimum. A typical mobile recording at 1080p gets reduced to around 720p or 480p with a bitrate between 1 and 3 Mbps, which looks perfectly fine on Discord's compact player. Higher-quality source videos compress more gracefully.
Do I need to install any software or create an account to use it?
No. Everything runs directly in a modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Edge, with no installation, sign-up, watermark or usage limit. Compression speed depends on your device — a 30-second mobile clip usually processes in under a minute on a typical laptop.
Compress video
Re-encode with a lower bitrate or resolution. Check playback, sound and the final size; a strict target may need further adjustments.
There is no guaranteed saving or exact target for every file. If the result is larger, some tools return the original; compare its format and size before sharing. For an upload limit stated in KB or MB, confirm the portal’s own rule and inspect the downloaded file size. Do not assume a percentage reduction meets that limit. Preserve the original if document text, signatures or forms must remain usable.
