You clipped the perfect play or found the perfect meme, and Discord says the file is too big. Without Nitro, Discord's upload limit is 20MB. Drop the clip here and we work out the bitrate that lands just under 20MB, downscaling to 720p only when the clip is long enough to need it. Short clips usually look the same as the original.

Frequently asked questions
What's the Discord file size limit without Nitro?
20MB per file for free accounts.
My clip is 5 minutes long. Will it still look OK?
At 20MB, a 5-minute clip gets about 500 kbps, so we drop it to 480p to keep it watchable. Trim it first if you can.
Is it free?
Yes. Single videos up to 500MB or 10 minutes are free with no watermark. Batch compression and larger files: $2.99 for 24 hours or $4/month.
Will quality drop?
Longer videos need lower bitrate; shorter clips look almost the same.
Is my video uploaded?
No, it's processed in your browser, so very long videos may take a while on slower devices.
