Discord rejects videos over its upload cap, so a clip that's even slightly too big won't send. This tool shrinks it to fit, 8 MB gives safe headroom under the 10 MB free limit, all on your device.
Know your Discord limit
Discord's free upload cap is 10 MB per file. Nitro Basic raises it to 50 MB, and full Nitro to 500 MB. The 8 MB preset here deliberately targets a little under the free 10 MB ceiling, because sizing is approximate, aiming for 8 MB almost always lands you safely under 10. If you have Nitro, pick the 50 or 500 MB preset to keep more quality.
Getting a big clip under 8 MB
For a phone or gameplay clip, hitting 8 MB usually means dropping resolution: cap it at 720p or 480p so the limited bytes cover fewer pixels and the picture stays clean instead of blocky. Gameplay and screen recordings at 60fps compress harder than talking-head footage. If the clip is long, trimming it to the key moment first is the single biggest size saver, a shorter clip fits far more easily.
When audio doesn't matter
If the clip is a silent screen capture or the sound isn't the point, removing the audio track frees up bytes that go straight into picture quality. That can be the difference between a blocky 8 MB clip and a clean one. Leave audio on for anything where the sound carries the moment, a funny voice line, music sync, or a reaction.
Tips
- Target 8 MB (not 10) so the file lands safely under Discord's free limit.
- Cap resolution at 720p or 480p to keep an 8 MB clip from looking blocky.
- Trim to the key moment first, a shorter clip is the easiest way under the cap.
- Have Nitro? Use the 50 MB preset to keep noticeably more quality.

Questions
- What's Discord's video upload limit?
- 10 MB on a free account, 50 MB with Nitro Basic, and 500 MB with full Nitro. Pick the preset that matches your account.
- Why target 8 MB instead of 10?
- Sizing is approximate, so aiming for 8 MB gives headroom to land safely under the 10 MB free cap rather than risk going slightly over.
- My clip is still blocky at 8 MB, what helps?
- Cap the resolution at 720p or 480p, and trim to just the key moment. Fewer pixels and less length let the available bytes look much cleaner.
- Is my video uploaded anywhere?
- No. It's compressed on your device and never leaves it, no upload, no account, no watermark.
