Compress video for Discord under 10 MB
Discord's free upload limit is 10 MB. Drop a clip and MiniFiles picks the bitrate that fits it under the limit — in your browser, without uploading it anywhere.
This browser can't compress video. Use a recent version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on a computer — the video is still processed on your device and never uploaded.
How to get a video under 10 MB for Discord
- Drop your clip into the box above — Under 10 MB · Discord is already selected.
- Keep 720p, or choose 480p for long clips.
- Trim it to the part you want to share, or remove the audio, if it's too long to fit.
- Click Compress video and send the MP4 on Discord.
How video compression works in MiniFiles
- Processed on your device. The video is decoded and re-encoded by your browser's own video encoder (WebCodecs, usually hardware-accelerated) with the Mediabunny library. Nothing is uploaded.
- Size or quality. Pick High, Balanced or Small quality, or a size target such as under 10 MB for Discord or 25 MB for email; the bitrate is worked out from the video's length.
- Smaller frame, smaller file. Scaling a 4K or 1080p phone video down to 720p is usually the biggest saving. Videos are never upscaled, and vertical videos stay vertical.
- Trim and mute. Keep only part of the video, or remove the audio track, before compressing — both make the file smaller still.
- Plans. Free: MP4 output at 720p or 480p for videos up to 200 MB, compressed to any size you choose. Pro adds the original resolution and 1080p, no file size limit and WebM. Without an account you get 10 uses a day across all tools.

Frequently asked questions
What's Discord's upload limit?
10 MB per file on free accounts, 50 MB with Nitro Basic and 500 MB with Nitro. Server boosts can raise the limit within a server.
Why does it say my video is too long for 10 MB?
Below a certain bitrate video stops being watchable. Trim the clip, remove the audio or choose 480p to fit more seconds into 10 MB.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. MiniFiles compresses videos in your browser with the browser's own video encoder, so the file never leaves your device.
Which browsers work?
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on a computer. Phones work for short videos, but long videos can run out of memory.
Why won't my iPhone video open on Windows?
iPhones record in HEVC (H.265), which Chrome on Windows can only decode with Microsoft's HEVC extension installed. Use Safari or Edge, or install the extension.
Is it free?
