Video Too Large for Discord? Compress It Below 10 MB
Updated October 27, 2026
Discord limits uploads for free accounts to 10 MB. A short gameplay clip in high resolution easily goes over that.
Compress your clip here
Choose the Discord preset in the video compressor on this page and drop your video. FileFlip lowers the bitrate until the file fits. It all runs in your browser.
Target size
Advanced settings
Get better quality under 10 MB
- Trim the clip to the moment that matters. Shorter videos keep more quality.
- Lower the resolution to 720p. On a phone or in a chat window it still looks sharp.
- Cut the audio if it's not needed.
Other options
Discord Nitro raises the limit, and you can also share a link from Google Drive or YouTube instead of uploading the file.
FAQ
- How long can a 10 MB video be?
- At decent quality about 30 to 60 seconds at 720p. Shorter clips look better.
- Why does my video look blurry after compressing?
- A long or high-resolution video has to lose more detail to fit. Trim it first.
- Do you keep my video?
- No. The video never leaves your device.
