Compress video for Discord Free

Make a video small enough to send on Discord — 20MB without Nitro. Right in your browser, nothing is uploaded. Free.

How to send a big video on Discord

  1. Drop a video in, or click to choose one.
  2. Keep 20MB without Nitro, or pick 50MB if your account can send bigger files. Trim the start or end to keep more quality.
  3. Press "Compress for Discord", save the MP4 and send it.

What it can do

Lands under the limit

The bitrate is worked out from the length, so the file ends just under the size you picked.

Plays in Discord

You get an MP4 (H.264 video with AAC sound where the browser supports it), which Discord plays right in the chat.

Trim to keep quality

A shorter clip gets more data per second, so cutting the boring parts makes the rest look better.

Private by design

The video is compressed in this browser and never uploaded.

Questions

What is Discord's upload limit?

Discord's help center (checked November 2026) says files can be up to 20MB without Nitro, and bigger with Nitro. Discord also says it is testing different limits, so check what your upload window says.

When should I pick 10MB?

Discord says it is trying out different limits, so if a 20MB file is refused, 10MB is the safe choice.

Is my video uploaded here?

No. The video is read and compressed only inside this browser. This page never sends it anywhere.

Will it look worse?

A little, if the video is long. When the limit is tight, a lower resolution is picked so the picture stays clean instead of blocky. Trimming the clip helps the most.

Is this made by Discord?

No. LumiBear is not affiliated with Discord. The Discord name belongs to its owner; this page just makes videos that fit Discord's upload limit.
