Compress Video to 10MB for Discord
Discord limits uploads to 10MB for users without Nitro. This tool compresses your video to fit that limit entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device, so it's faster and more private than upload-based compressors.

Why the 10MB limit exists
Discord's free tier caps file uploads at 10MB (Nitro Basic raises it to 50MB, Nitro to 500MB). Videos from a phone camera easily exceed this — a 30-second 1080p clip is often 50MB+ — so re-encoding at a lower bitrate is the standard fix.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is my video too big for Discord?
- Phone and screen-recording videos are encoded at high bitrates (often 8–20 Mbps). Discord's free upload limit is 10MB, which a high-bitrate clip exceeds in seconds. Compressing reduces the bitrate so the same video fits the limit.
- Does compressing to 10MB ruin quality?
- It depends on length. A clip under ~30 seconds compresses to 10MB with minor quality loss. Longer videos need lower bitrates, so consider trimming first or accepting reduced sharpness.
- Is my video uploaded to a server?
- No. This tool runs FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly inside your browser. The video is processed on your own device and never transmitted anywhere.
