How to compress a video for Discord

  1. Select the video. Click Select video or drop an MP4, MOV, WEBM or MKV file.
  2. Keep "under 10 MB". The size is already set for Discord. Choose Custom size for another limit.
  3. Compress and send. Download the MP4 and drop it into your Discord chat.

Fitting a video under 10 MB

The compressor divides 10 MB by the length of the video to find the bitrate, then picks the resolution that looks best at that bitrate. A one-minute clip fits under 10 MB in 720p; a five-minute video needs a lower resolution. Cut long recordings to the best part first with the video trimmer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Discord file size limit?

Discord allows files up to 10 MB without Nitro.

Why does my video look blurry after compressing?

10 MB is not much for a long video. Trim it to the part you need, and the compressor can keep a higher resolution.

Which formats are supported?

MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI and most others; the result is an MP4.

Are my videos kept?

No. They are deleted after 15 minutes.

How this works: your video is uploaded over HTTPS and re-encoded on this server with FFmpeg. The upload is deleted when the work is done and the result 15 minutes later.
