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 assets for a US-hosted site on AWS, Cloudflare, or Vercel, trimming email attachments for Gmail and Outlook, or submitting documents to federal portals, this tool keeps your files lean and your workflow fast — all without uploading anything to a server.
How to Compress a Video to 8MB, 25MB, or Any Size

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.
