Compress video for Discord

One click to 10 MB — or 50/500 MB for Nitro. Runs on your device, so even a 2 GB clip starts instantly.

Frequently asked questions

What is Discord's upload limit?

10 MB for free accounts, 50 MB with Nitro Basic and 500 MB with Nitro (as of 2026). The presets target ~3% under each cap so the upload never bounces.

Why did my video get smaller (resolution)?

A 10 MB budget for a long clip can't hold 4K. We downscale just enough to keep the picture watchable — the planned resolution is shown before you start, so there are no surprises.

Is audio kept?

Yes. If the source audio already fits the budget it's passed through untouched; otherwise it's re-encoded to AAC at 128k (96k mono under very tight targets) and the rest of the budget goes to video.

How long does it take?

It encodes at hardware speed — a 300 MB phone clip typically compresses in a couple of minutes on a mid-range laptop, and there is no upload wait at all. Cloud tools spend longer than that just uploading.
