Compress a video for Discord
Discord lets you send files up to 20 MB without Nitro. Drop a video and get one that fits.
Your file never leaves this device. Everything runs in your browser.
How it works
- Pick where it's going: Discord, email, Outlook, WhatsApp, a size of your own, or a quality level.
- Drop your video. The tool works out the resolution and bitrate that fit.
- Download the smaller MP4.
Questions
What's Discord's file size limit?
20 MB per file without Nitro, since August 2026 (it was 10 MB before). Nitro Basic and Nitro allow more.
Will it play inline in Discord?
Yes. The result is an MP4 with H.264 video, which Discord plays in the chat.
Does my video get uploaded?
No. The video is read and re-encoded by your browser, on your device. This page can't send the file anywhere: its security policy only allows it to talk to its own site and to the page-view counter.
Why is the file still bigger than I hoped?
A size target is spread over every second of the video. A long video in a small target would need a bitrate so low the picture falls apart, so the tool lowers the resolution first and tells you when even that isn't enough. Trimming the video is the other way down.
What format do I get?
An MP4 with H.264 video and AAC sound, which every platform and phone plays.
Is there a size limit?
Files up to 2 GB and videos up to 15 minutes. Longer videos are better trimmed first.
