Compress a video for Discord
Discord refuses files over its upload limit: 10 MB for accounts without Nitro. Frameloom works out exactly how many bits your clip can use, encodes it in two passes to land just under the limit, and only lowers the resolution when it has to.
Free to try: a 1-minute 1080p video costs 7 tokens, and you get 30 every week.
How to do it
- Open Compress to size and drop your file in, or pick it from your device. It stays on your device.
- Check the settings. The target is already set to 10 MB. Nitro users can pick 50 or 100 MB instead.
- Press Run, then preview and download the result.
How much fits in 10 MB?
A file size limit is really a bitrate budget: the longer the video, the fewer bits each second gets. Frameloom divides the budget between picture and sound, keeps a small safety margin for the container, and then picks the highest resolution that still looks clean at that bitrate.
For example, a 1-minute 1080p phone video comes out at 540p. Shorter clips keep more resolution, and longer ones step down gradually instead of turning into a blurry mess. If a clip is too long to fit at all, you're told the smallest size it needs before anything is charged.
Questions
- What is Discord's file size limit?
- Without Nitro, Discord accepts uploads up to 10 MB. Nitro plans raise the limit; choose a bigger target such as 50 or 100 MB if you have one.
- Will my video look worse?
- Only as much as the size limit forces. Two-pass encoding spends bits where the picture needs them, and the resolution is lowered before the picture gets blocky.
- Is my video uploaded anywhere?
- No. Compression runs inside your browser with ffmpeg. The file never leaves your device, and Discord only sees it when you post it.
