Compress Video for Discord

Fit your clip under Discord's 20MB free upload limit. Runs in your browser: no upload, no watermark, no signup.

Need batch processing or bigger files? Download Compresso for folders, big videos, and offline compression.

Discord's free upload limit is 20MB per file. It used to be 8MB, then 10MB, so old advice online still quotes those numbers. If your clip is over the limit, Discord rejects the upload outright. Nitro raises the cap, but not everyone in the server has it.

This page is built for that exact moment. Drop your video, and it is compressed to fit under Discord's limit with the bitrate matched to your clip's length. A 30-second gameplay clip and a 5-minute screen recording both come out under 20MB, without you touching quality sliders.

Your video never leaves your device. The compression runs in your browser tab, so nothing sits on a server. If you compress clips for your community every day, the Compresso desktop app does whole folders at once, offline.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Discord's file size limit right now?+

20MB per file for free accounts, raised from 10MB in August 2026. Nitro Basic gets 50MB and full Nitro gets 500MB. This tool targets just under 20MB so your upload clears the bar with room for container overhead.

Why do so many guides say the limit is 8MB?+

That was the limit years ago. Discord raised it to 10MB, then to 20MB, and a lot of older threads and videos never got updated.

Will my video look bad after compressing?+

The tool matches the bitrate to your clip's length, so short clips keep most of their quality. Very long videos squeezed under 20MB will lose sharpness. If the target is not reachable without wrecking the video, the tool tells you instead of handing you mush.

Does the compressed video play in Discord?+

Yes. The output is a standard MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) that plays inline in Discord on desktop and mobile.
