Compress Video for Discord (<25MB) – Free Online Compressor

Discord limits free file uploads to a strict 25MB maximum size. If you try to upload a game clip, screen recording, or meme edit that exceeds this limit, the upload will fail unless you pay for a premium subscription. To share your clip, you need to reduce the file size before uploading.

1. Select your game clip: Drop your large video into the compressor.
2. Auto-optimization: The tool automatically targets an output file size under 24.5MB by adjusting the video bitrate.
3. Download: Save the compressed video. It is now guaranteed to fit within Discord's free upload limit.
