How to compress a video for Discord

  1. Drop the video in. MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV.
  2. The target is already set to 10 MB. Leave it, or change the number if your case is different. Resolution and frame rate caps are optional.
  3. Download and send. The file lands at or under 10 MB and sends as a video, not as a document.

Questions people ask

What is the Discord video size limit?

10 MB on a free account, 50 MB with Nitro Basic and 500 MB with Nitro. The limit is per file.

How long a clip fits in 10 MB?

About 20 seconds at good 1080p, a minute at 720p, two to three minutes at 480p. Gameplay with lots of motion needs the lower resolutions to look clean.

Why does my video show as a file instead of playing?

Discord plays H.264 MP4 inline. Other codecs and containers upload as attachments. The MP4 from this tool plays inline.

Can I keep 60 fps for gameplay?

Yes, leave the frame rate on "Keep". It costs size, so a 60 fps clip fits fewer seconds in 10 MB than a 30 fps one.

Does it work with OBS and ShadowPlay recordings?

Yes. MP4, MKV, MOV and WebM all go in.

Is there a watermark?

No.
