Video Compressor for Discord

Discord's free upload limit is 10MB — this compressor is built around it. Drop a clip and it lands just under 10MB, ready to attach on any account without Nitro. On Nitro Basic the cap is 50MB and on full Nitro 500MB, and the size chips cover those too. Everything runs in your browser at hardware speed: no upload, no queue, no watermark on your clip.

  • No upload — files stay on your device
  • Works offline once loaded
  • Free forever, no signup, no watermark
Drop a video here, or tap to choose MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV — it never leaves your device
  • Size {{ sourceSizeLabel }}
  • Duration {{ durationLabel }}
  • Resolution {{ meta.width }}×{{ meta.height }}
  • Audio {{ meta.hasAudio ? 'Yes' : 'None' }}

This is a large file (over 500 MB). It will still work — everything streams from disk — but expect the encode to take a while, especially on a phone. Keep this tab in the foreground until it finishes.

The result is aimed a few percent under this number so it clears the platform limit.

How to use this tool

  1. Drop your clip

    Gameplay recording, meme, phone video — MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV all work. The 10MB free-tier target is preselected.

  2. Match your Discord tier

    Free account: keep 10MB. Nitro Basic: pick the 50MB chip. Full Nitro (500MB): you probably don't need this tool unless the file is enormous.

  3. Compress and attach

    Download the MP4 and drag it into Discord. It embeds with an inline player — no "file too large" bounce.

Questions people ask

What is Discord's upload limit?

Free accounts: 10MB. Nitro Basic: 50MB. Full Nitro: 500MB. A server's boost level does not raise your personal attachment cap — it's tied to your own subscription.

How do I send a video on Discord without Nitro?

Compress it to under 10MB here and attach it normally. The tool aims a few percent under the line, so it won't bounce off Discord's "Your files are too powerful" error.

Why do people say the Discord limit is 8MB?

It was 8MB for years, and thousands of guides (and the 8mb.video generation of tools) still say so. Discord raised the free cap to 10MB — that extra 25% is real quality, so target 10MB unless you're sending somewhere stricter.

Will my gameplay clip look terrible at 10MB?

A 30–60 second clip looks solid at 10MB. Longer than that, quality drops fast because the budget is spread thin — trim to the highlight first (shorter video = more bits per second = visibly better clip).

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs in your browser using your device's own hardware video encoder (WebCodecs). This site has no upload endpoint for the tool at all — the video never leaves your device, and there is no upload wait before compression even starts.

Does compressing a video reduce quality?

Yes — a smaller file means less data. The tool keeps quality as high as the target allows by downscaling resolution intelligently instead of just starving the bitrate, and it shows you an honest quality estimate before you run.

What video formats can I compress?

MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV in; MP4 (H.264 + AAC) out — the most compatible format for every platform and player.

Which browsers does this work in?

Chrome and Edge (desktop and Android) have full hardware encoding support. Firefox and older Safari versions may lack the WebCodecs encoder — the tool detects this and tells you plainly instead of spinning forever.
