Compress video for Discord

Get a video under Discord's upload limit: 20 MB for free accounts or 50 MB for Nitro Basic. The tool picks the bitrate and resolution to fit, and tries again lower if the first file is too big. Free, online, and the video stays on your device.

How to compress a video for Discord

  1. 1Drop your video in, or click to choose it
  2. 2Keep "Discord, free (20 MB)" or pick Nitro Basic
  3. 3Click "Compress" and upload the saved file
  4. A video under the Discord limit you picked.

What happens to your video

  • Nothing is uploaded.Your video is compressed by your browser. It only goes to Discord when you send it.
  • Made to fit the limit.The target is 20 MB, or 50 MB for Nitro Basic, and the file is aimed 5 % below it.
  • Cut it down first.Keep only a part of the clip, or cap the resolution, to leave more quality.

What you can do

  • Start from the Discord presets: "Discord, free (20 MB)" and "Discord Nitro Basic (50 MB)".
  • Switch to any other preset or a number of your own in MB.
  • Cap the height at 1080p, 720p or 480p.
  • Enter a start and end time to keep just the best part.
  • Read the plan first: resolution, video and sound bitrate and the size it should land under.

Good to know

  • Discord raised the free limit from 10 to 20 MB in August 2026. Limits can change again, so check Discord if an upload is refused.
  • Sizes use decimal MB, so a 20 MB result also fits where megabytes are counted the other way.
  • The result is an MP4 (H.264 and AAC) in most browsers, otherwise a WebM.
  • A long clip may be too long for the limit at a watchable quality. Trim it or raise the target.
  • It uses your graphics chip and works best in desktop Chrome or Edge.
