Compress a video for Discord
Under Discord's 20 MB without Nitro, sharp enough to watch. Your video never leaves your device.
Or drop it on the page. Free, no limit, no watermark.

Worked out by the page's own planner, for a 1080p video at 30 images per second, with its sound.
Questions
- What is Discord's file size limit?
- 20 MB for an account without Nitro, 50 MB with Nitro Basic and up to 1 GB with Nitro, as Discord's help page gives them. It was 10 MB until August 2026.
- How long can my video be?
- The table above shows what each length keeps at 20 MB: the shorter the video, the sharper it stays.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, in a recent browser: the page uses your phone's own video chip, and nothing is uploaded.
How it works
Your video stays with you
Your browser reads the video and encodes it again on your device, with its own video chip. It is sent to no server: you can go offline once the compression has started.
You give a size, not settings
Say where the video is going: the page works out the bitrate, the resolution and the frames per second that fit under the limit, then weighs the result. If it is over, it starts again a little lower.
Free and without limit, because nothing goes through us
A site that compresses on its servers pays for every file, so it limits what it gives away. Here your device does the work: no account, no queue, no watermark.
