Compress a video to 10 MB

Discord's free upload limit is 10 MB. Drop your clip below and it will be squeezed to just under 10 MB right on your device — no upload, no Nitro, no watermark.

Fitting a video into Discord's free limit

Discord checks the exact byte count, so 10.2 MB fails where 9.9 MB sails through. This tool computes the precise bitrate that fits your video's length into the limit, reserves space for audio, compresses, then verifies the final size — re-encoding automatically if the first pass came out even slightly over. You always get a file Discord will accept.

Be realistic about what 10 MB holds: a 20–30 second gameplay clip still looks sharp; a 2-minute clip lands around 540–720p and looks fine in chat; a 10-minute video at 10 MB is heavily compressed by any tool's math — for those, consider whether a trimmed highlight says it better. When the bit budget gets tight, the tool lowers resolution and frame rate in sensible steps instead of smearing every frame into blocks. Audio is kept at a bitrate that doesn't crackle, because viewers forgive soft pixels faster than broken sound.

Everything runs locally in your browser with hardware acceleration where available, so compressing is usually faster than watching the clip — and your video is never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Will Discord definitely accept the file?
Yes — the output is verified to be under 10,000,000 bytes, which is the limit Discord enforces for free accounts. The tool re-encodes automatically if the first attempt lands over.
Is my clip uploaded while compressing?
No. The whole process runs in your browser on your machine. Nothing is sent to a server — there isn't one.
Why does my long video look bad at 10 MB?
10 MB is a fixed budget of data shared across every second of video. A 30-second clip gets over 2 Mbps — plenty. A 10-minute video gets under 100 kbps — barely anything, whatever tool you use. Shorter clips simply look better at fixed sizes.
Does sound count against the 10 MB?
Yes — audio is part of the file. The tool reserves a sensible audio bitrate first and gives everything else to the picture. Muted videos squeeze noticeably more visual quality into the same 10 MB.
What about Nitro's higher limits?
Nitro Basic raises the cap to 25 MB — use the 25 MB compressor for that. Full Nitro allows 500 MB, which rarely needs compressing.
