Compress a video for Discord
Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded. Drop the file, press the button.
Discord rejects uploads over 10 MB unless you pay for Nitro, and screen recordings blow past that in seconds. The Discord preset below re-encodes your clip to land under the limit — on your own machine, with nothing uploaded anywhere.

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
What is Discord's video upload limit?
10 MB on a free account. Nitro Basic raises it to 50 MB and full Nitro to 500 MB. The limit has changed a few times over the years — the preset here targets the free 10 MB tier.
Will the compressed clip still look okay?
For clips under a couple of minutes, yes — H.264 at the calculated bitrate holds up well at 720p. A very long clip squeezed into 10 MB will visibly soften; that's physics, not a bug.
Does my clip get uploaded to a server?
No. Compression runs inside your browser tab using WebCodecs, so the video never leaves your computer. Only anonymous stats — file sizes and which preset you picked — are logged.
