The 30-second fix for "file too large"
Know your cap
Free: 20 MB · Nitro Basic: 50 MB · Nitro: 500 MB. Current as of September 2026.
Drop the video in
It never leaves your browser — no upload queue, no waiting on someone else's server.
Hit your exact number
Select your plan's preset. The output is measured and re-encoded until it's provably under the cap.
Don't trust "8 MB" guides anymore
Search results are full of tutorials that still say Discord's limit is 8 MB. That number is years out of date — Discord raised limits to 20 / 50 / 500 MB in August 2026. Compressing a clip down to 8 MB today just destroys quality you didn't need to lose.

FAQ
How do I make a video small enough to send on Discord?
Compress it to just under your plan's cap: 20 MB (free), 50 MB (Nitro Basic), or 500 MB (Nitro). Drop your video in the tool above, pick the matching preset, and download the result — it's verified to fit before you ever try uploading.
Why does Discord keep rejecting my video?
Discord hard-rejects attachments over your plan's limit. Even 20.1 MB fails on a free account. That's why VidSizer targets ~4% under the cap instead of "about 20 MB".
Is this safe? Do you keep my video?
There's nothing to keep — compression runs entirely in your browser tab. No upload, no account, no watermark.
Will my video look bad after compression?
Short clips compress beautifully. Long clips at small targets are a physics problem, not a tool problem — VidSizer warns you upfront when the target is unrealistic, and suggests the next size up or trimming.
