Compress a video to 8 MB
Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded. Drop the file, press the button.
8 MB was Discord's old free ceiling and it's still the number people search when a clip has to be small. Enter 8 MB and ShrinkClip encodes to a bitrate calculated from your clip's length, then re-encodes if it overshoots so the file genuinely lands under the limit — all on your own machine.

No upload queue
Compression runs on your own CPU. A 500 MB recording never crawls up your connection to someone's server — there's nothing to upload, wait on, or trust.
No command line to learn
The same H.264 encoding professionals tune by hand — with the bitrate math and resolution worked out for you. Pick a size, press the button.
Private by default
Your video is processed in browser memory and discarded when you close the tab. We never see a frame of it — only anonymous size and preset stats.
Questions people actually ask
Will it be exactly under 8 MB?
Yes — with the hard limit on, the output is measured and re-encoded if it comes out over, so it stays below 8 MB. Very long clips simply lose more sharpness to get there.
Why 8 MB specifically?
It's the classic Discord free-upload size and a common cap elsewhere. If your target is different, type any number into the size box — the tool hits whatever you enter.
