Compress Video to 8MB
Many forums, ticket systems and legacy upload forms enforce an 8MB cap. Set the target and this tool calculates a bitrate, then checks and corrects the result to keep the video under 8MB.
Why the 8MB limit exists
8MB became a common limit because it was Discord's free-tier cap for years, and many web forms adopted similar defaults. The fix is the same everywhere: re-encode at a bitrate computed from the video's duration.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the tool hit an exact size?
- Target size divided by duration gives the bitrate budget. The encoder aims below that budget and can retry at a corrected bitrate when the first result is still too large.
