Compress a video for Discord

Compress video for Discord to 10 MB, the free upload limit, so a game clip or a screen recording drops into any server or DM without Nitro. The recording never leaves your computer or phone: we don’t receive it and don’t store it.

How it works

  1. Open the clipChoose the video or drop it on the page. The Discord card, 10 MB, is already set.
  2. See what you getCheck the new size and the picture estimate. If it says blurry, trim first.
  3. Save and drop it in DiscordDrag the saved file into the chat, or press the plus button next to the message box.

How to get a clip under the Discord file size limit

Discord turns away a file over the limit, and a 30-second highlight from a game recorder is often several times too big. At 10 MB the clip plays right in the chat, with no download link and no paid plan.

How big a file Discord takes

As of 2026, a free account uploads files up to 10 MB, and the Nitro plans raise that a lot. Discord has moved this number up and down over the years. If your account allows more, a 10 MB clip still fits and loads faster for everyone in the channel.

Why game clips weigh so much

Recorders save at a high bitrate, often at 60 frames per second, so a short highlight weighs 50 to 200 MB. Fast motion, particles and grass need the most data. The same 10 MB looks crisper on a calm scene than in a busy fight.

What fits into 10 MB

These numbers are for a clip with sound. At a tight budget the clip drops to 30 frames per second, so each frame keeps more detail.

  • About 20 seconds: 1080p.
  • 30 seconds: 720p.
  • One minute: 480p, still at 60 fps if the source has it.
  • Two minutes: 360p at 30 fps, fine for a chat.
  • Past about six and a half minutes: nothing readable fits. Trim it, or type a bigger number under Your size.

How to compress video for Discord and keep it sharp

  • Cut to the moment that matters. Every second you drop gives the rest more detail.
  • Crop away black bars or an empty part of the screen first.
  • For screen recordings with text, choose 720p under Frame size. A smaller frame keeps text readable longer than a starved bitrate.
  • No need for the sound? Remove it with Mute video first, and the picture gets the whole 10 MB.
