Compress Video for Discord — Under 20 MB, Free
Discord limits free accounts to 20 MB per file (since August 2026 — it was 10 MB before). Our Discord preset brings gaming clips and screen recordings under 20 MB — the bitrate follows the length of the clip — in an MP4 that plays in Discord's inline player. No account needed, and your clip never leaves your browser.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Discord file size limit?
Free users: 20 MB per file (10 MB from September 2024 to August 2026). Discord Nitro Basic: 50 MB. Discord Nitro: 500 MB.
What video format works best on Discord?
MP4 with H.264 is the most compatible format and plays inline in Discord without needing to download.
How do I get a gaming clip under 20 MB?
Use our Discord preset: it computes the bitrate that fits 20 MB for the length of your clip (30 fps, up to 480p). A one-minute clip keeps a clean picture; past 4 minutes, trim it first.
Can I send longer videos on Discord for free?
