One clip. A clear maximum.

How to make your video smaller

  1. Choose a preset

    Start with a target above, or open Full controls for a custom maximum and video settings.

  2. Select your video

    Choose a local file. Review the selected maximum, any resolution cap and the advice before compressing.

  3. Download and review

    Save the result and check its quality. Upload or attach it in your destination app yourself.

Choose your Discord plan

Discord currently lists 20 MB for Free, 50 MB for Nitro Basic and up to 500 MB for Nitro. It also experiments with limits, so use the limit shown in your app if it differs. The selected preset is a maximum, not a request to enlarge a smaller clip.

Older 8 MB and 10 MB searches

Those smaller targets still work, but they are not the current published Free ceiling. Open Full controls or a dedicated size page for a smaller limit. Keep more room for fast-moving gameplay by lowering resolution before selecting an extremely small target.

Questions about Discord

Do I need Nitro to send a large video?

You can compress an eligible video below the Free limit instead. A Discord subscription only changes Discord limits; it does not change your SizeVideo account.

Does a Nitro preset require SizeVideo Premium?

Encoding to a maximum above 200 MB requires SizeVideo Premium. If the original already fits and needs no changes, you can download it without uploading.

Can I change a preset?

Yes. Full controls opens the normal size ruler, custom maximum, resolution, frame rate and audio settings. Switching controls keeps the selected file. Presets set a maximum; the actual result can be smaller.

Will every video reach this size?

No. Very small targets can be unsuitable or fail for a long or detailed clip. Read the advice, try lower resolution or choose a larger maximum. Compression does not trim video or bypass a destination’s content and account rules.
